Sources at the Manhyia Palace have revealed that, efforts to resolve the long-standing Bawku conflict, spearheaded by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, have been temporarily postponed to next week.
The peace talks, initially scheduled to take a major step forward on April 28, have been delayed due to the complexities surrounding the chieftaincy dispute at the heart of the conflict.
A spokesperson for the Manhyia Palace stated, “Otumfuo remains fully committed to fostering peace in Bawku. However, the intricacies of the situation require more in-depth discussions before the next mediation sessions can resume.
The postponement is expected to allow both factions the Mamprusi and Kusasi groups more time to prepare for the next round of dialogues.
