The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, will resume mediation efforts in the protracted Bawku conflict later this month, according to an official press release from the Manhyia Palace.
The statement, issued by the Chief of Staff at the Office of the Asantehene, announced that the mediation will take place from April 28 to May 1, 2025, at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi. The dates were agreed upon by both parties involved in the conflict.
“His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, will resume mediation of the Bawku crisis as agreed with both parties,” the release said.
The Asantehene has appealed to all stakeholders to cooperate fully in order to find a lasting solution to the decades-long ethnic conflict that has plagued the Bawku area in the Upper East Region.
The renewed mediation is expected to build on earlier efforts initiated under the previous administration and supported by President John Dramani Mahama.
