Asantehene To Resume Mediation Of Bawku Conflict On April 28 At Manhyia Palace

The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has announced that he will resume mediation efforts between the two factions involved in the ongoing Bawku conflict.

The announcement follows a recent assurance by President John Mahama that the peace process led by the Asantehene would continue as part of national efforts to restore calm in the troubled region.

In a statement issued on April 15, the Asantehene confirmed that the mediation sessions will take place from April 28 to May 1 at his palace in Kumasi.

“His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, will resume mediation of the Bawku crisis as agreed with both parties from April 28 to May 1, 2025, at the Manhyia Palace, Kumasi,” portions of the Manhyia statement read.

The Palace further called on all stakeholders involved in the conflict to cooperate fully with the process, emphasizing the goal of achieving lasting peace in Bawku.

“Asantehene requests all stakeholders to cooperate for us to find a lasting peace in Bawku,” it added.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II was appointed by former President Akufo-Addo last year to lead the mediation process aimed at resolving the longstanding tensions in the Bawku area.

The call to resume the talks follows a recent resurgence of the conflict, which has claimed the lives of some two police officers and affected healthcare delivery in the area.

The mediation sessions, which will be held at the King’s palace, are expected to involve key leaders from the conflicting factions and other relevant stakeholders.
