The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, the Rt. Rev. Prof. Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante has called on the people of Bawku to give peace a chance for the sake of development and advancement. Apexnewsgh.com report
Speaking at a service in Bolgatanga as part of his eight days pastoral visit to the Upper Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana and to dedicate a new chapel for the Penial Congregation, the Moderator who is also the President of the Christian Council of Ghana appealed to the people of Bawku to give peace a chance to facilitate development and progress, noting that Ghana is developing and Bawku cannot be left out because of the conflict. He observed that even though people were from different tribes and ethnic backgrounds, building a prosperous and developed nation or community required a deliberate and conscious effort to eschew historical differences and tribal hatred.
He, therefore, appealed to both Kusaasis and Mamprusis to see each other as brothers and a people with a common future, sighting inter-marriages between the two tribs as sufficient basis to give peace a chance.
Meanwhile, his appeal also followed his visit to Bawku on March 19, 2022, which saw him and other pastors of the church knelt and prayed for peace in the area.
Bawku has been in the news for the past few months due to the resurgence of a protracted ethnic conflict between the Kusaases and Mamprusis that has left some people dead and several others including personnel of the Ghana Armed Forces injured.
