Indigene of Binduri, Stephen Atubiga, Urges Kusasi and Mamprusi to Prioritize Peace in Bawku Conflict

Accra, Ghana – July 29, 2025 – Stephen Atubiga, identified as an indigene of Binduri, has made a passionate appeal to the Kusasi and Mamprusi factions involved in the Bawku conflict, urging them to take primary responsibility for accepting peace before external interventions can be fully effective.

In a statement captured in a news update, Atubiga asserted, "We, the Kusasi and Mamprusi, must take responsibility to accept peace first before anyone else can help settle the conflict." His remarks highlight the crucial role of internal commitment from the feuding parties as a prerequisite for achieving lasting resolution and stability in the troubled Bawku area.

The protracted conflict in Bawku has caused significant distress, displacement, and loss of life. Atubiga's call for self-responsibility resonates with the sentiment that sustainable peace must originate from the willingness of the direct parties involved.

His appeal underscores the belief that while external mediation and security efforts are vital, the ultimate success in settling the conflict lies in the readiness of both the Kusasi and Mamprusi people to embrace peace and reconciliation.
