<\/a>The National Chairman of Fulani\u2019s in Ghana, Alhaji Mohammed Bingle has condemned the Jirapa District Assembly\u2019s plans of tagging\u00a0Fulani herdsmen in the Municipality.<\/p>\nThis follows an announcement by the Jirapa District Chief Executive (DCE), Madam Vivien-Nelly Kunko, and chiefs and opinion leaders in the district that Fulani herdsmen living in the District will register formally and given tags for easy identification.<\/p>\n
But in an interview with Citi News, Alhaji Bingle opined that the move by the Assembly is both discriminatory and dehumanizing.<\/p>\n
According to him, for a select few to wear tags for purposes of identification is unfair adding that \u201cpeople can be issued with identity cards, but it should be in their pockets but to hang it on their neck and roaming about is not right.\u201d<\/p>\n
He however<\/span> clarified he is not against identification as it serves great purposes in cases of emergencies \u201cbut that identity card should not be in the form of tags.\u201d<\/p>\nSome communities across the country with Fulani residents have complained about the activities of the Fulani herdsmen.<\/p>\n
In some cases, there have been reports of outbreak<\/span> of violence between indigenes<\/span> and the Fulani herdsmen resulting.<\/p>\nLocal indigenes<\/span> claim that the herdsmen rape their women while their cattle destroy the produce in the farms<\/span> and have called on government<\/span> and other relevant authorities to relocate these Fulani herdsmen.<\/p>\nA survey undertaken by the Ghana Network for Peace Building (GHANEP) asserted that the Fulani Herdsmen are a threat to national security.<\/p>\n
