Title
Peace Operations in Northern Ghana: A Comparative Analysis of State-Sponsored Peace Operations in the Dagbon, Konkomba-Nanumba and Nawuri-Gonja Conflicts in the Northern Region of Ghana
Creator

Description
It is axiomatic that state-sponsored peace operations are conducted in Ghana aimed at
combating conflicts. In the Dagbon intra-ethnic conflict and theNawuri-Gonja and KonkombaNanumbainter-ethnic conflicts in present-day Northern Region of Ghana, state-sponsored peace
operations were marshalled to either prevent the outbreak of conflicts, de-escalate tensions or
combat the conflicts to ensure law and order. Some of the security measures rolled out as part of
the peace operations in these conflicts included strategies such as a combined military-police
patrols, mounting checkpoints to prevent the inflow of arms, the imposition of state of
emergency, increasing security presence in the volatile areas, among others. This paper explores
the security arrangements in the peace operations in theDagbon, Konkomba-Nanumba and
Nawuri-Gonja conflicts in the Northern Region of Ghana. Blending written and unwritten data
together in an orthodox historical tradition, this study argues that the measures were not entirely
successful.
