In February 2018, Dozens were injured after some Zongo youth and residents of Ahwiaa were involved in bloody clashes.

The fight occurred with the factions attacking each other with machetes, broken bottles, and other weapons after the town folks had prevented the Zongo youth from participating in a burial and funeral rites of a deceased lady.
