The Fulani Community in Ghana say they are being maltreated by the Ghanaian government and the larger populace following disagreements that have arisen between local farmers and nomadic herdsmen in some parts of the country.<\/p>\n
The long-standing dispute between nomadic herdsmen and farmers has reared its ugly head again especially in the Agogo area in the Ashanti Region, where a task-force of police and military personnel, is currently moving the herdsmen and their cattle from the area.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”S0jKg3Hpwp94TnM68PCs3z9yl9BzfDJr”]The exercise known as Operation Cowleg, has seen several cattle killed by the task-force, whereas hundreds have been moved out of the town.<\/p>\n
During the operation, three military officers and a police officer were allegedly wounded through gunshots. The suspicion is that, some of the herdsmen, who are unhappy with the operation, may have laid ambush to attack the security personnel.<\/p>\n
