Dear National Peace Council, Ghana,
I am writing to express my concern about the ongoing crisis in Bawku, where the lawlessness and conflict by a few people have led to countless deaths, including those of women and children, allegedly at the hands of the military too.
The silence of the Peace Council on this pressing issue is troubling, and it raises questions about whether you are aware of the gravity of the situation or whether you are turning a blind eye to it.
As an organization established to promote and preserve peace in the country, I believe that the lack of action on this issue is a cause for alarm. The ongoing violence in Bawku is tearing communities apart, leading to widespread displacement and suffering. The failure of the Peace Council to take a stand on this issue sends a message that you are either powerless or unwilling to act, leaving the people of Bawku to suffer in silence.
While I appreciate that the Peace Council has recently spoken out on the issue of alleged misconduct by the military in Ashaiman in Accra, it seems to be a case of misplaced priorities. The crisis in Bawku, where people have been living in fear for their lives for years, is far more severe and requires urgent attention.
I urge the Peace Council to take swift action to address the crisis in Bawku, using your influence to bring about peace and justice for the victims of this ongoing conflict. As an organization tasked with promoting and preserving peace, the Peace Council has a moral obligation to speak out against violence and injustice, wherever it occurs. It is time for the Peace Council to stand up and be counted, to make its voice heard on this pressing issue, and to demonstrate its commitment to peace in Ghana.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely, AB Felix Akudago.
