Buudi, what happened in Kumasi last night, 22nd July 2025, must serve as a wake-up call to Kusaug. The murder of Kaad and Kumasi Kusaas Chief, in Asawasi, Kumasi, must also serve as a wake-up call to Asantehene and to the Interior Minister. The murder in Asawasi, not far from Manhyia, is a direct insult to Asantehene and a repudiation of the mediation process. It is a direct challenge to the authority of the Interior Minister who is also the MP for Asawasi. We demand immediate action from the security forces to apprehend and bring the murderers to book. We know Ghana’s security forces have the resources and the expertise to apprehend the killers, IF there is the political will.
We are therefore giving the security forces two weeks to assure us that Kusaas Lives Matter. We want to see arrests in the next couple of weeks. If the impunity continues, Kusaas have no choice but to rise and protect ourselves. Kusaas did not start this conflict in Bawku. We never took the conflict outside Kusaug. We have focused on defending and protecting our land and our lives within Kusaug. After feeling cornered in Bawku, the Mamprusis exported the conflict to Walewale, Nalerigu and other parts of the North East region. They attacked and murdered our people in Bolga, Accra, Goaso, Techiman, Kumasi etc.
Kusaas cannot retreat from this struggle. Kusaas cannot continue to depend on other people to fight our cause for us. That will be suicidal. Kusaug cannot continue to depend on the rule of law and due process when the law is never enforced. I am therefore calling on Kusaas wherever they are, to organize and mobilize to defend and protect ourselves. I am calling on everyone to start by mobilizing financial contributions. We need to mount our defense on all fronts across the country. We have a choice to either mobilize our resources to protect ourselves, or keep the resources for funerals. The choice is ours and the choice is easy. BARAKA
