It’s rather unfortunate that the "kusasis" really do not know what they are talking about.In terms of majority, how many kusasis are in Bawku? Is it the scattered kind of settlements kusasis consider to say they arIe majority? How many Kusasis are there?
In the first place,if the kusasis are claiming to be the indigenous people of Bawku why can they tell their own history if only they have one. I regret to say kusasis are lost.
Mamprusis are appealing to the well meaning and peace loving Ghanaians to be circumspect in their utterances about the conflict in Bawku. Our forefathers always said that " it is the empty drums that made the most noise", I dont think the mamprusis refusal to joint in the media war , thus, DOES not mean mamprusis at not rightful owners of Bawku. The kusasis are mere propaganda's and would come up with false stories to claim Bawku as it is for them in order to attract the attention of the public to gain favor. Even with children, one can detect the child that give the false alarm, and it is always the child that starts to complain first.
The kusasis in Bawku are just like the Liberians Refugees in
I will also want Ghanaians to reason with the mamprusis and ask the kusasis where their so called chiefs house is resided? In every town where can one locate the palace of the chief? Is it in the town or the outskirts of the town? To all concern Bawku did not start in 1958.
Infact the Mamprusis' have been so lenient to the kusasis for a long time.
In June 2003 Mamprusis' farms were destroyed by kusasis, mamprusis never retaliated, again the kusasis always use the so called samampiid festival to come into the town to attack the Mamprusis, but mamprusis never attacked the kusasis, kusasis rather attack and the mamprusis defend , just for sake of peace for the town, mamprusis consider the fact that Bawku is comprised of many tribes within and outside Ghana. Kusasis know what they want but are shy to say it, because it is embarrassing for the public to hear.
If Ghanaians really want peace to prevail in Bawku, they should allow Tradition to take its full course.
