The West Africa Network for Peace Building (WANEP) has expressed worry over the recurrent troubles in Bimbila<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in the Northern Region, describing the situation as “unfortunate.”<\/p>\n

WANEP stated that the current peace situation in Bimbilla is fragile and fears the problems there might degenerate if lasting solutions are not found immediately.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”I1ZrRORN7G4z5QY6ht6O4X0clhBd0I29″]The troubled town has been placed under a 4:00 pm to 6:00am curfew following recent clashes, which left over a dozen people dead.<\/p>\n

The Executive Director for WANEP, Chwukuemeka\u00a0 Eze \u00a0said although the government is working to find solutions to problems\u00a0 in the area, there is also the need for increased community dialogues \u00a0with all the parties involved if lasting peace is to be realized .<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me the conflict in Bimbilla is very pathetic to the extent that the community has produced one of the global best mediators in the world today in the person of Dr Ibn Chambas who is the UN Secretary General\u2019s representative for West Africa. For me, for his hometown to be messed up in this kind of conflict to say the least is very unfortunate and I think the people should reflect and give peace a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chwukuemeka\u00a0Eze noted that the only way to ensure that peace prevails in Bimbilla is through community dialogue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only way we can do that is to ensure that we have mechanisms through which these conflicts can be transformed and sustained over a period of time. We proposed like community dialogues, involving all the parties in the conflict such that people are sure that when there is dispute arising from any side of the divide, they have community approach through which they can resolve this,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
