Some youth of Nkonya and Alavanyo have paid a joint homage to the Paramount Chief of Alavanyo, Togbega Tsedze Atokora VII and elders of Nkonya-Kadjebi to compliment the recent peace-building process started by the two traditional areas.
Youth from communities in Alavanyo and Nkonya, have initiated moves to help restore peace and prevent outbreaks of violence in the area.
The group paid homage to the Paramount chief of Alavanyo, Togbega Tsedze Atokora VII, and the elders of Nkonya Kadjebi yesterday.
They commended the chiefs and elders for their recent steps taken to consolidate peace between the two communities.
The youth were warmly received by the two factions at their respective palaces with jubilation to demonstrate their commitment in bringing lasting peace and development to the two traditional areas.
Charles Amponsah and Samuel Komla, youth leaders from Nkonya and Alavanyo respectively told citifmonline they were happy with reception given them.
“We pray it continues this way. Let this peace be maintained” they added.
Paramount chief of Alavanyo Togbega Tsedze Atokora also spoke to citifmonline saying, “The youth and everybody should realize that we have not gained anything from this conflict; economically, socially, we have not gained so let us come together and build the area”.
The two communities even though sited in two different districts are close to each other, but a parcel of land which became a bone of contention for over nine decades has claimed thousands of lives and the worst affected were women and children.
