A Security Analyst, Dr. Kwesi Aning, has described as xenophobic the massive public outcry against Fulanis in Agogo, a farming community in the Asante Akyem North municipality of the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n
According to him, the country\u2019s leaders have failed woefully to curb the situation when it first erupted several years ago.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve gotten here because lies have triumphed over reality. We have allowed a simple solvable problem to become an intractable problem and an intractable potentially violent conflict. Where we have gotten to in the last couple of days also reflect a much larger set of institutional failures,\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n
Dr. Ening made the remarks on the Citi Breakfast Show<\/strong> on Thursday, when he sought to explain the rationale behind the recent impasse between Fulanis in Agogo and locals\u00a0of the area.<\/p>\n The Fulani herdsmen have been consistently accused of engaging in violent crimes against the locals.<\/p>\n
