The Ghanaian government has shifted its approach in the Bawku region from peacekeeping to active peace enforcement following a surge in deadly violence linked to a protracted chieftaincy and ethnic conflict. Military forces have been deployed, and strict curfews imposed in Bawku, Nalerigu, and surrounding areas to restore order and curb further attacks. Political interference and criminal elements exploiting the unrest are cited as key factors prolonging the crisis. Amid escalating violence, the government has begun emergency evacuations of students from affected areas to ensure their safety. Despite these measures, concerns remain about the effectiveness of curfews and the ongoing volatility in the region.
