Abudu, Andani peace talks to resume

The two sides in the Dagbon conflict, the Andani and Abudu Gates, have agreed, in a new spirit of reconciliation, to resume the peace process between them, under the auspices of three eminent kings led by Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

This welcome development followed a closed door meeting held by President John Mahama with the two sides, the eminent persons, the National Peace Council and the President of the National House of Chiefs.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and his colleagues, Yagbonwura Tuntumba Bore Essa I, Overlord of the Gonja Traditional Area and the Nayiri Naabohagu Mahami Abdulai Sheriga, Overlord of the Mamprugu Traditional Area are expected to announce the timetable for their follow-up meetings and inform the two sides shortly. 

In April 2013, Chiefs of the Andani and the Abudu Royal families indicated their resolve to work together to find an amicable solution to the protracted Yendi Skin affair.
