Welcome mr Bimoba man. You called Bimobas in Nakpanduri crafty the other day. You are one of the most dangerous among Bimobas. It is Nakpanduri today and will be your turn come another day.You should be ashamed of yourself. Your attitude is one of the reasons Kokombas will never leave Bimobas alone. Be aware that Nakpanduri will never get burnt though you might wish so.You should find out from your parents whether you are a real Bimoba.

Yes we are play mates and almost speak same language.Do you remember 1982 or 86 conflicts? These same kokombas in kpemali who were but just 6 to 7 houses sought refuge in Nakpanduri then claiming the kokombas from Nasuan were different than they. Today they have up to 30 houses and can now own kpemali and Nakpanduri. Who is destroying our oneness? Come again.

Kiya, you sound like one of those NDC Ewes on this forum who have mastered to defend everything right or wrong. That kind of behaviour can only be shortlived, and even if it persists, won't bear any fruits. You, as a Northerner should know that simple arrests on either side won't solve the problem, it is only continued education of the masses that will solve this problem but that can take years. The best solution now will be for the government to buy the land and share the payment equally for the partners.

Congrats to the Hon. MP. These are the type of people we need in parliament. I do not think that the MP is a konkomba in anyway but for the sake of peace he has used good judgement and wisdom. The cattle that are being put in same kraal will surely step on each other but they still belong there. It is a shame anyway to see Konkombas, Bimobas or Grumas fighting for in real sense they should have been the last tribes to fight among themselves. However, temptations are bound to happen just like someone will kill his brother. But for someone to conclude that Konkombas are the aggressors is unfair. The authorities cannot say that they are not aware of the
looming trouble because there is no smoke without fire. Sometimes the same REGSEC has collected fat tubers of yam and cattle from both sides already and now want to turn round to effect arrest after they have ignored all early warning signs.

Many people may ask the question why the konkomba chief.Iam a bimoba but better to speak the truth sometime to credibiliy.Infact issues like this needs circumspection.It also look like konkomba is being nglected.Since the clashes erupted media reports and voices have been heard from the bimoba side severally but none from the konkomba side.This could easily be interpreted by some as marginalization one ie being the konkombas.

It is sad in the 21st century to see or hear some tribes taking cutlasses and guns against another tribe for the least provocation. The question I am asking is; Why is that this particular tribe in the north keeps fighting almost all the tribes in the northern region? To call a spade a spade but not a big spoon, it is about time such tribes fight the common enemies which are poverty, illiteracy and diseases. Funy enough, people who can not provide three square quality meals for themselves and their families can raise colossal amounts to buy guns to kill his fellow human being.

Bam.Thank u Mutanka.Why will the same tribe fight all the tribes?. I used to ask that question but more. The answer is marginalization and land.In Ghana after someone has occupied a peace of for twelve years and you the lsnd owner did not take any action to redeem it it seizes to be yours. So why is it that Konkombas have lived in their varous areas for so many centuries but still have to pay land dues?. Does that law ecempt konkombas?.The truth is bitter but it is good to say it. When Naa Mahamadou was forced to release the Yaa Naa skin to Naa Yakubu , the Abudus cried and used all means to address the issue but nobody listened to them. If someone had listened. to them the late Yaa Naa and forty others would have been alive. When nobody cares about you, you try to care for yourself. Abudus ' approach was not the best but who cares because we made them to know that their grievances did not matter.

That is your opinion Kakyire. If you find yam in Asofo market or Tafo it comes from the north but you do not care to find out which northerners produce that yam. The truth is that it is the konkombas who produce that yam. You know that yam comes from land. Konkombas have places to produce yam but they do not have land can that be true?. Now Naworis, Chumbrurus, Gonjas, Dagombas, Nkwanta people and all other tribes collect Asaase tuo (land dues) from konkombas. So where does konkombas come from?.When it comes to socio-economic activities they are citizens but sharing national cake and equal rights they are not recognized. Has someone ever sat down to ask why land dues are collected from konkombas alone?.

That not withstanding, I ask, why should a landlord pay rent in his own home? If the Kokobas have a legitimate reason not to pay, who can force them to? If they are squatters too, they should respect the laws of the land because we are tired of the continous fighting in the north.

Do you think it is only in the North where yam is grown? Ejura in Ashanti and Techiman in Brong Ahafo region are known yam growing areas. Why mention only places in Ashanti region? We grow enough yams to feed the region and export some. Leave Ashanti region alone. You sell your yam at Accra at the Kokomba yam market there.

Thanks Kombat that is the truth about these two tribes. Even a mad man has a friend. Nobody would have thought that these two tribes will fight themselves. To know who attacked first and who defended will not solve the problem.. Because in doing so will lead to the one who suffered the lost to retaliate and that is what we are trying to avoid. it is imperative that the educated talk to their varous tribes to forestall peace. The tongue and teeth will always have troubles but is it possible for any of these subjects to leave mouth?. No must co-exist so should Bimobasand Konkombas.

When at all will these animals learn to co-exist with each other? They have become a burden for the nation, compelling government to spend the tax payer"s money, which hitherto could have been used for national development, to simply maintain peace. We tired of you fools. I suggest the security forces drive them all to Burkina where they come from, including Mahama, so we can use that land for farming to feed the rest of the country where there is peace.

The law maker should know best. Chiefs are not above the law. If a chief contravenes the law he must be arrested and prosecuted. Chiefs are behind galamsay and openly give out land for illegal mining which they benefit from much to the disadvantage of the wider populace and yet the police does not arrest them. let us set an example and all these nonsense will stop.

The constitution of Ghana says that no one is above the law in this country whether rich or poor the law mush deal with you cordially. They should arrest Kokomba chief and send him to the law to deal with him.

Ghanaians! We are experts in everything. Once you are appointed an MP you become all-knowing.

Why shouldn't the chiefs be arrested if the police have cause to believe that they had a hand in the clashes?

Are our police and soldiers not up to the task? Who ever commits must face the law. Such chiefs and people concerned should be summoned to appear before the courts in Accra and they will become sober like wild dogs in the Bolga market. If they fail to appear then the security can go for them and stop the nonsense

"The Member of Parliament for Bumpurugu, Solomon Boar Nanliit warns this may spark fresh fighting between the Bemobas and the Kokombas."
In my huble opinion, the arrest being contemplated by the security apparatus is uncalled for since it will only lead to tension escalation and bloodshed. The only exception will be if the Regional Security Council has firm and strong evidence that the KKB Chief if fully behind, responsible for and promoting the violence in the area without any of the other factions involved. A full feldged investigation should be conducted first. Don't pick on my KKB friends and brethren

I don't know why the security agency wants to make some arrest? but if this move is to aid them investigate the case and to bring about lasting solution to stop the conflict, that's fine. The precedure is to investigate the cause of the war and tackle it from there. So why caution the actions of the security agency? maybe the other side could be investigated as the need asrises. What we need is peace in the area and in this regard, let the police do their job or do we now think we can do it our own way? If we think that the problem should be solve without digging to the root causes of the conflict, then we must be getting ready for more wars because it's when a giant tree have its roots uprooted that it dies completly. we don't kill a tree by merely cutting its branches or do we?? let the police dig to the roots of this conflict. I hope my area should soon return to calm, we are fighting though, but Bimobas and Konkombas are brothers. Lets give our people enough education and all conflicts up "North" will be no more. May GOD render His mercies upon us.
