EXPOSING THE FALLACIES IN THE KUSASIS’ ACCOUNT OF THE HISTORY OF BAWKU.

Image
                              I will be using references from J.K.G Syme’s book (1932) “The Kusasis-A Short History”, T.E Hilton’s book (1962) “Transactions of the Historical Society of Ghana, Vol.VI”,  Captain R.S Rattray’s book (1932) “The Tribes of the Ashanti Hinterland” and the Mamprusis perspective. Before I continue, let me give you these three quotes by J.K.G Syme, Cpt. R.S Rattray and T.E Hilton which shows that the Bawku East area including the Bawku town weren’t founded by the Kusasis and certainly not Kusasi land.   Syme in his book “The Kusasis-A Short History” wrote on page 13-14 thus “When we come to consider the Agolle half of the District (Bawku East) it gradually becomes evident that it is not Kusasi country at all. Certainly in the old days a few Gbingbinga–Kusasis spread over to Sinnebaga (which was founded by Mamprusis) from Zongoiri (which was also founded by the Mamprusis) and in the North round Bawku (also founded by the Mamprusis) there were some Kusasis who ha

  C/O AHMED WUNI P.O.BOX 76 BAWKU, UER +233 24 272 7345 / +233 24 328 9980 28/03/2020 Dear Hon. Mahama Ayariga, I am a Mamprusi, known by my native name Doobia Mba'wuni Bakutoma, son of one of the Mamprusi Princes of Bawku, Alhaji Iddi Wuni of blessed memory. I am a citizen of Bawku, hence one of your constituents. I have read your humorous reaction dated 24th March 2022 on your official letterhead as Member of Parliament (MP) for Bawku Central with the heading. "RE: NAYIRI COMMITTED TO FINDING LASTING PEACE IN BAWKU." Your reaction was in relation to a letter the King of Mamprugu Kingdom, Naa Bohugu Mahami Abdulai Sheriga addressed to the President of our dear country Ghana, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. I wish to state that as a citizen of Bawku. I trace my ancestral lineage to Naa Gbewaa of Pusiga and his son Naa Atabia the 10th King of Mamprugu Kingdom who founded Bawku. His son Naa Ali was the first chief of Bawku. Hence, Naa Bohugu Mahami Ab

DEAR MAHAMA AYARIGA

  I will be brief. I am not a lawyer and I do not intend to be one, at least for now. But every person with an iota of common sense will know that there is absolutely something wrong if you have to write 5 pages to explain a paragraph ruling that granted leave to discontinue a case. And more pitiful was the fact that eventhough you quoted the entire paragraph ruling in which there was ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION of who the rightful owner/chief is or even a mention of granting or dismissing the application, you still went ahead saying the ruling affirms so so and so as chief and owner of Bawku. The simple fact that you had to attempt "interpreting" the ruling should tell you and those who think like you that there was indeed no ruling on who a chief is. Because the court would have been clear rather than leaving space for you to come and write 5 pages "interpreting" what the ruling meant. Furthermore, what makes you think you are so special to proffer a legal opinion on th

DISREGARD ANY FINDINGS/COMMENTS FROM THE PURPORTED FACT-FINDING MISSION BY SIX (6) MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT

 MAMPRUGU YOUTH ASSOCIATION - BAWKU CHAPTER 23/03/2022 DISREGARD ANY FINDINGS/COMMENTS FROM THE PURPORTED FACT-FINDING MISSION BY SIX (6) MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT  The Mamprugu Youth Association wishes to urge Government, Parliament, various stakeholders, and the general public to completely disregard any comments or findings that would be put out in the name of a fact-finding mission embarked by six members of Parliament from the eastern part of the Upper East Region. Everything about their mission on 22nd March 2022 is against the basic tenets of any credible fact-finding mission committed to finding pragmatic solutions to the decades-long conflict. Their visit, to even be charitable to them, can best be described as a charade and a propaganda mission aimed at promoting the concerns of one faction ( the Kusasis).  We are unable to independently confirm whether they were officially commissioned by the Government or Parliament to carry out this so-called fact-finding. However, we believe

 21/03/2022 PRESS CONFERENCE BY MAMPRUGU YOUTH ASSOCIATION (MAYA):BAWKU CHAPTER FATAL SHOOTING OF 3 MILITARY OFFICERS IS THE RESULT OF MONTHS OF TERRORISM, CRIMINAL ACTS AND BANDITRY PERPETRATED BY EMBOLDENED KUSASI YOUTH Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press, we welcome you to this press conference. We appreciate your prompt response to cover this interaction even though it was on short notice. Before we proceed, we will like to extend well wishes to the military command for the speedy recovery of the 3 military officers injured on the morning of 17th March 2022. We feel their pain and we pray that God grants all the security personnel protection as they strive in their duties to provide peace, security, and safety to the people of Bawku.  BACKGROUND  Our attention has been drawn to a press conference addressed on  March 17th, 2022 by a group calling itself Kusasi Youth Movement titled "Military Brutalities and Atrocities in Bawku" and read by one George Atuasi, a Bissa by tribe

INNOCENT FULANI MAN KILLED BY KUSASIS

Image
  This Fulani man was shot and killed in cold blood without any provocation this afternoon by the kusasi bandits, The old man was returning to his house after looking for his horse 🐎 and the bandits launched an attack on this poor man which result to his death. Now what is the use of the security services deployed to bring peace to Bawku or we should call it state sponsored radicalism going on at Bawku.  We have a President who have taken an entrenched position and a tribal bigot regional minister who have taken sides with the Kusaasi causing innocent lives to perish on daily basis at Bawku. Because it has been made clear to everyone how bias the government and security agency have been towards the Bawku chieftaincy dispute because gun shot are heard everyday within the kusasi territory and killing of innocent people and nothing is done about it, no arrest or any effort of disarming those people. If this is not criminality what do we call it. Indirectly are you telling the king of Ma
