Asantehene presents Bawku Peace Mediation Report to Mahama

The programme opened with the national anthem and an opening prayer, followed by introductory remarks from the Director of State Protocol and a welcome address by the Minister of the Interior.

The central moment of the afternoon arrived when Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who led the high-level mediation process, delivered his remarks and proceeded to symbolically hand over the comprehensive peace report to the President.

“It was a mediation. It wasn’t an arbitration, and I’m not here to say that this one was wrong or that one was right. I’ll present the facts as they are, and that is what it should be binding on all of us,” he explained.

He proceeded to present the accounts of both the Kusasi and Mamprusi factions to ensure transparency going forward.

This act marks the culmination of months of dedicated dialogue and negotiation efforts spearheaded by the Asantehene to resolve the protracted conflict in Bawku.

After the remarks, he proceeded to symbolically hand over the comprehensive peace report to the President.

The presentation of this report is widely seen as a critical step toward ending the cycles of violence in Bawku and building a foundation for reconciliation and lasting coexistence.
