The feuding factions of two Konkomba clans fighting over chieftaincy and land related issues at Biriyamba and Yiyamba in the Gushiegu district have signed a peace pact.<\/p>\n
Signing a bond of good behaviour, they resolved to end the conflict and co-exist peacefully for meaningful development to triumph in their deprived communities.<\/p>\n
The peace pact was signed at the end of a meeting between leaders of the two feuding factions and the seven member committee set up by the Northern Regional Security Council (RECSEC) to resolve the impasse between the two clans whose recent clash caused the death of four whiles several households were completely burnt.<\/p>\n
The meeting was held behind closed doors in the office of the Gushiegu District Chief Executive and chaired by Chairman of the RECSEC investigative committee, Alhaji A.B.A Fuseini who doubles as Deputy Northern Regional Minister.<\/p>\n
He commended them for smoking the peace pipe with the anticipation that the conflict will never resurrect.<\/p>\n
Alhaji A.B.A Fuseini reiterated the need for them to engage in productive ventures to uplift the image of their communities.<\/p>\n
He also encouraged parents to invest in their children\u2019s education to enable them become responsible citizens.<\/p>\n
The Sagnarigu constituency Legislator advised the mass media to be circumspect in their reportage on conflict situations especially in the Northern Region.<\/p>\n
On behalf of government, Alhaji A.B.A Fuseini donated relief items to both sides of the chieftaincy divide for the upkeep of the surviving residents who have been rendered homeless.<\/p>\n
Assemblyman for Katani electoral area where the two communities are located, Ngmariba Ibrahim praised his people for the ceasefire.<\/p>\n
He made a passionate appeal to the only four teachers who fled the community during the renewed clash to return to the classroom.<\/p>\n
Member of Parliament for Gushiegu, Hon. Thomas Nassah pleaded with his kinsmen to re-channel their resources into their children\u2019s education and stop what he described as the unwarranted conflict.<\/p>\n
Leaders of the two feuding factions attributed the cause of the conflict to disputed farmlands but Citi News external sources revealed that the dispute was chieftaincy related which started in 2012.<\/p>\n
The troubled Biriyamba and Yiyamba Konkomba communities lack basic amenities such as clean drinking water, electricity, telecommunication networks, roads and school infrastructure.<\/p>\n
