UE/R: Mahama must fulfill his campaign promises to end Bawku conflict; people are dying - Kusaug youth cry out

Residents of Kusaug in the Upper East Region have expressed worry over the worsening conflict in Bawku and have called on President John Mahama to fulfill his electoral promise to bring the situation under control.
At a press briefing, the group read a statement, pointing out how President Mahama assured the Kusaug community he would end the conflict if elected as President, and how the situation has rather turned bloody under his leadership as President.
"Mr President, when we heard your promise to bring a lasting solution to the Bawku conflict, we were overwhelmed by it and thought the NDC was our saviour.
That was why Kusaug's gave the NPP zero and voted massively for the NDC."
"Your Excellency, the President, did you know that since your assumption of office as President, more than 18 people have been killed in this Bawku conflict, including women and children.
Is that what you want Mr President?'
"Mr President, you indeed mentioned the truth that the overlord Naana Asigri Azorka II is the legitimate chief of Kusaug, and everyone knows that.
Now, what has changed, Mr. President?
We didn't know it would take you so long to solve the Bawku issue when we voted you into power."
The worried and disappointed group urged President Mahama to fulfill his election promise to them, demanding the arrest of a rival chief as well as the affirmation of the Bawku Naaba.
"Mr President, your promise to Kusaug must be fulfilled immediately without delay to prevent further escalation of tension in the Bawku area.
