Ghana’s Minister of Interior, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, accepted the final report of the Gbiyiri Mediation Committee, a document poised to change the course of relations in the Sawla–Tuna Kalba area.
The formal handover took place as the Committee’s Chairman, Emmanuel Bombande, presented the report, underscoring its power to lay the groundwork for enduring peace, renewed social cohesion, and meaningful cooperation between the Gonja and Lobi/Brifors communities. The committee, established in September 2025, was tasked with tackling the root causes of the region’s longstanding inter-communal disputes and mapping out practical steps for reconciliation.
Minister Muntaka, visibly appreciative, thanked the committee for their perseverance and detailed work. He commended the roadmap outlined in the report, which aims to rebuild fractured relationships, nurture tolerance, and restore harmony within the Gbiyiri community and beyond.
The recommendations contained in the report are set to provide a guiding framework for local authorities, traditional leaders, and stakeholders as they embark on the next phase—implementing sustainable peace initiatives tailored to the region’s needs.
Chairman Bombande also took the opportunity to thank President John Dramani Mahama, Minister Muntaka, the Overlord of Gonja, and all those who offered steadfast support and partnership throughout the mediation process.
With the submission of this report, the Gbiyiri Mediation Committee brings a note of optimism to a region that has weathered years of intermittent tension, marking a decisive step toward lasting peace and stability.
