De-escalating Bawku conflict a collective responsibility - Sheikh Armiyawo Shaibu

A Member of the Governing Board of the National Peace Council (NPC), Sheikh Armiyawo Shaibu, has called on Ghanaians, particularly security actors and media practitioners, to take collective responsibility for de-escalating the protracted Bawku conflict and restoring lasting peace to the area.

Sheikh Shaibu made the remarks at a two-day media and security dialogue in Bolgatanga organised by the NPC, with funding support from the Embassy of Japan through the United Nations Development Programme.

He said the conflict had gone beyond the two main groups directly involved and had assumed a national dimension, requiring every citizen and institution to contribute to efforts to restore peace and social cohesion.
