Close to three weeks now no clashes nor attacks have been recorded in Bawku after three months of communal conflict in Bawku and its environs in the Upper East Region. Calm has finally return to the area.The people who hitherto could not move freely about and to areas termed as enermy territory can now do so.
Market women and men especially those from the Mamprusi side have been able to go to cinkase market and other markets either dominated by the Kusasi or needed the mamprusi to move through the kusasi to reach their destination have done so without any incidence.Likewise the Kusasi have equally moved into or passed Mamprusi dominated areas and come out freely without any attacks.The Central market is also experincing brisk business and many people who fled the conflict are returning to the area.
The usual busy streets of Bawku have been seen in recent times. What is more, the municipal security committee in its quest to further consolidate the gains made so far encouraged the organisation of this year's independence day celebrations which came on in grand style.
The school children came in their numbers and the parade grounds was packed to capacity.
It is the wish of everybody that come next week the curfew will be reviewed further to enhance movement of people.
