Description

There are worries concerning the effects of the conflicts on national and sub-regional security and stability (Aapengnuo, 1996), especially with reference to economic growth and development. Aapengnuo (1996) observed that almost seventy percent (70%) of the inhabitants live below the national poverty line, compared to the national average of 27%.
Since the 1980s the dark cloud of the notorious “northern conflicts” has been a public issue. It reached its peak in the Dagomba-Konkomba conflict during the early part of 1994 (Kombat, 2008). The Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo District was also engulfed in inter-ethnic conflicts in 1985. The conflict began when Bimoba (Moab) and Komba (a section of Konkombas) clashed at the Bimbagu Market. Described by the media as “The Mango Conflict,” the Bimoba-Komba conflict occasioned widespread killings and immeasurable burning of houses (Kombat, 2008).
