He said he would institute his own mechanisms and initiative to end the conflicts, but did not state which form these would take.

The Asantehene, who was addressing a group of chiefs and elders of the Ashanti Kingdom on his return from South Africa,  promised to protect his kinsmen and resolve the conflicts in the two areas.

Some residents of the Muslim community at Tafo in Kumasi on Wednesday, February 10, 2016, clashed with some loyalists of the Tafo traditional council over disagreements on a piece of land at the Tafo cemetery.

The clashes were said to have resulted in two deaths and others sustained various degrees of  injuries.

Several cars were vandalised, and  a bank, a Mosque and six churches were set ablaze amidst riots and gunfire. Military and police officers had to be deployed to the area to maintain peace.

Agogo Fulani conflict

The Agogo residents have since 2007 been engaged in clashes with the Fulani herdsmen for allegedly destroying their crops and killing farmers and relatives .

The Ashanti Regional Security Council (REGSEC), and the military have since launched a campaign to rid the area of Fulani herdsmen.

Meanwhile, residents of Agogo have boycotted the district celebration of Ghana’s 59th Independence citing government’s failure to address the Fulani crisis in the area.

The development has apparently forced the organisers to move the event, which is always held in Agogo township, to a small town, Domeabra, in the district, but the Asante Akyem North District Assembly has denied the claim, noting it is a mere coincidence.
