The ongoing and seemingly unending conflict in Bawku, which continues to claim lives and destroy properties, has sparked concerns among some Ghanaian netizens over the apparent inaction of state authorities and the government in resolving the crisis.
Some netizens have expressed the view that the current government, while in opposition and during its campaign period, politicised the Bawku conflict to gain electoral support but has since appeared to show a relaxed stance toward the escalating crisis.
Following the government’s announcement that the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, will lead the mediation process in the Bawku conflict, some critics have opposed the decision.
They argue that the Asantehene should refrain from taking on the role, stating that he was not responsible for the origins of the conflict and should not become entangled in its complexities.
Others, however, have placed blame on politicians for their roles in the escalating crisis, accusing them of politicising the situation rather than addressing it constructively.
They argue that if the political parties truly had good intentions, they could have collaborated and worked together to resolve the conflict and promote peace.
Instead, they say these politicians have chosen to use the issue as a campaign tool.
