Today, June 30, 2025, the Ashanti Kingdom’s King, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, is set to engage with the Kusang Traditional Council in a crucial meeting aimed at addressing the persistent unrest in Bawku.
This dialogue represents a vital step toward resolving the protracted ethnic and chieftaincy tensions between the Mamprusi and Kusasi communities that have plagued the region for years.

Authorities and traditional leaders are calling on all parties involved to collaborate fully with peace efforts, underscoring the urgent need for a sustainable and peaceful resolution that will restore stability to the area and prevent further loss.
The involvement of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II highlights the increasing role of respected traditional figures in mediating conflicts and fostering reconciliation in Ghana’s troubled regions.
