The Savannah Regional Minister, Salisu Issifu Be-Awuribe, led a high-powered Regional Security Council (REGSEC) delegation to neighbouring Vonkore in Côte d'Ivoire to broker a peace deal with over 1,400 residents who fled their homes in the Bole and Sawla-Tuna-Kalba districts of the Savannah Region following the Gbinyiri violent clash.
The visit, part of REGSEC's measures to reintegrate victims back into their communities, aims to lay the foundation for a possible roadmap for lasting peace with the Overlord of Gonja, Yagbonwura Bii-Kunuto Jewu Soale I, his sub-chiefs, and the Birofor and Lobi communities in both districts.
At Vonkore, the regional minister expressed his displeasure at seeing his people, especially children, living in open and unfamiliar conditions, and assured them of efforts to support their reintegration.
