Peace For Bawku

Bawku is located in the north-easternmost corner of Ghana. It is a major town and market centre close to two international borders, Togo to the east and Burkina Faso to the north. Benin and Niger are also not too distant from Bawku. By its geographical location and its commercial activities, Bawku has become a polyglot society of immigrants from other parts of Ghana and neighboring countries.

Economic opportunities, largely commercial activities, have been the catalyst for the presence of immigrants in Bawku. Its diverse population engaged in myriad commercial enterprises has made Bawku increasingly cosmopolitan. The Kusasi (who claim to be the autochthones) and the Mamprusi (seen by Kusasi as warrior new-comers), however, have remained the dominant ethnic groups. The 2000 Population and Housing Census report showed a Kusasi majority followed by the Mamprusi.

The Kusasi constitute 75% and 45% of the total population in Bawku West and Bawku East respectively. At the heart of the Kusasi-Mamprusi conflict is an agglomeration of issues about litigations over allodial rights and chieftaincy. Both the Kusasi and the Mamprusi claim allodial ownership of Bawku, claims which are shrouded in their narrative histories of origin and derived from claims of autochthony.

Recently, Bawku is once again in the decorations, famously know of it's conflicts. Well, others might think it's out of hand and must be handled at a high hierarchy but I think all good natives/citizens of Bawku must all come on board and create peace within.

TIME FOUNDATION Ghana, we also have couples of activities dumb our Project \" Peace For Bawku\" initiative.

Awareness Raising is our Focus!

We want to organize radio program through out the environment of Bawku and it's nearby towns speak about the need for peace for development.

Under awareness Raising we will also organize home to home outreach visits to families to speak with family heads for the need for Peace.

It's not easy but the little we can do can taugh hearts and heal some.

Peace and security we all know it the Foundation for development. With Peace new opportunities might not enter to create development, with Peace a city is desolated. Please lets work to bring Bawku back to its original.
