Always there seems to condemnation of the military by politicians from Bawku area whenever there’s a conflict in Bawku. Why will someone intensionally provoke the military ?
The MP should back off else the new contingent that will come will even be worse in dealing with the people if they misbehave again. This is a clear case of unnecessary provocation on the military and you the MP want them to be cowards ? No the military were not trained to be cowards and they will do worse if the people don’t learn and behave appropriately.

The MP should rather be aiming to restrain his unruly and indisciplined youth who until now have been getting away with shooting dead innocent travellers including women and children. THESE TERRORISTS ( AND THAT IS WHAT THEY NOW ARE) NEED TO REMEMBER THAT BULLETS CAN ALSO FLY IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION (TOWARDS THEM) AND THIS TIME THEY WILL BE DEALING WITH FOLK WHO HAVE VASTLY SUPERIOR WEAPONRY AND AMMUNITION AND ALL THE POWER OF THE STATE TO BACK THEM.
I think that the military actually showed enormous restraint here in the face of great provocation.

The military should have kill you people in numbers. I used to support the kusasi until what i did yesterday. How can you shot at a military patrol? I am very disappointed in you people. Now all the people who died yesterday, are they manprusi? You're making the military to kill your own people. Kusasi people be reasonable and stop attacking military escorts.

The Mamprusi and Kusasi have lived together peacefully for over one hundred years. The sudden outbreak of hostilities between two ethnic groups who speak similar languages beats any imagination.
1. The beneficiaries of the conflict are the politicians.
2. The Political Party that has the Kusasi on its side gets the majority....Kusasi have the numbers.
Until the Kusasi and the Mamprusi decide to live together as they used to be before CPP UGCC PP UP PFP PNP PNC NPP NDC came to sow the seeds of discord, the conflict shall continue to rage on while the Political Parties pretend to help. (Keep off: NDC NPP)
Otumfuo Asantehene is the answer to this tribal conflict. Matter of tradition and culture. Politics out.

It beats me ! What was the offense of the statue of the overlord of the kusaag traditional area? Was the statue holding a weapon? This act of tomfoolery and cowardice from the military shouldn't be swept under the carpet and must be treated with all seriousness. I edge opinion leaders and sane minds in and around the upper East Region to roundly condemn this unfortunate impunity from the military. President Mahama is too weak a leader for Ghana, you promised the people to halt the conflict when elected and they overwhelmingly voted for you and your ndc only to be stabbed in the back. We're not in a colonial rule and the mamprusis should stop thinking they can colonize a whole ethnic (kusaasis) group on their own soil in the 21st century. Let's give peace a chance

This your bad English doesn't even deserve a response. There is nothing like "OVERLORD" of Bawku. That statue roundly deserves to be destroyed!

Masa why talk like this. Were you on the field . The Kusasis were firing from behind the statue. Why will they hide behind the statue and be firing at Military who have done nothing to you and injuring 2 soldiers and you expect Soldiers to hug them. I don't think you are reasoning. Akans have a saying that The Old man who allow kids to chew Phyton when classifying them he is classified as one. If the soldier was Ur brother I don't think you will spew that shit.

These Bawku savages must be neutralised once and for all. All chiefs and wild leaders must be rounded up and detained anywhere in the Savana bush. They cannot continue to hold the country to ransom.

The lives of the military also matter. Why should civilians open fire on military personnel? The MP should advice the youth in Bawku to lay down their arms.

Reckless statements like this is the reason there’s no peace, there’s a conflict and he is still calling someone overlord. These politicians are to be blamed!!

I keep saying that the mediation by Otumfou on Bawku chieftancy is very slow, the better Otumfou speed up the better for us. Otumfou must be given a timeline to finish the mediation to save more lives
