Security expert Adib Saani says the raging issues of Bawku need a security complicated approach to resolve the impasse since the issue is complicating.
Speaking with Omanhene Yaw Adu Boakye on Sompa TV/Fm morning show, the security expert says both parties have taken intransigent and stubborn positions which makes it difficult to deal with the situation, however, he says the government approach to resolving the issue is the not the best.
“The approach by the government is not going to help, from nowhere you want to arrest the new king, you don’t do that, and because of the botched nature of the operation, it is putting the government in a weaker position and has limit government’s options so far as addressing the issue is a concern”, he said.
He stressed that he can’t be arrested since the youth has formed a human wall around him whiles the other side watches closely from afar after exercising much patience which makes it difficult for the government.
He termed the government's approach to the issue as a suicide mission and said he is worried that if care is not taken, the issue will be further complicated.
He advises the government to adopt either an immediate or a long-term approach solution.
“The government has the option of adopting an immediate or a long-term approach, the immediate approach has to do with the presence of security personnel, engaging both sides on a dialogue to see how amicably within a short term to reduce the tension and deescalate, on the other side, the long term approach could require law enforcers because they have gone beyond the use of Ak’s and other ammunitions”.
He emphasized that the combatants are being commanded by external forces because most of them benefit politically and financially from the status quo, and it’s in their best interest for the status quo to persist in continuous fighting and once the government can stop the inflow, the combatants on the grounds will be starved.
In addition, he said access to human security is very important as well as access to the necessities of life.
