We appeal to all parties involved to cease hostilities and commit to a peaceful dialogue process to resolve their differences. FOSDA urges the leaders, elders, and youth of Nkwanta to prioritize the well-being of their people by refraining from actions that could endanger lives, destroy property, and undermine the community's development.

We further call on the Government of Ghana to adequately resource and empower the National and Regional Peace Councils to proactively address these longstanding tensions. Persistent chieftaincy and land disputes—many of which remain unresolved—continue to fuel instability and violence in the region. A well-resourced Peace Council, working in close collaboration with civil society organizations, would be better positioned to mediate and prevent such outbreaks.

FOSDA commends the security agencies for their timely intervention and the arrests made so far. Their continued neutrality and professionalism are vital to restoring peace and building community trust in the resolution process.

Finally, we call on all residents and indigenes of Nkwanta to exercise maximum restraint.

Preventing further loss of life, internal displacement, and economic disruption must remain a collective priority.

Signed 

Mrs Theodora W. Anti 

Executive Director
