The Minister of Interior, Hon. Muntaka Mubarak, has disclosed that about 90 percent of people displaced by the Savannah Conflict have returned home following security intervention and mediation.
According to the Minister, 90 percent of the people, a total of 40,000, who had fled to nearby countries, including Burkina Faso and Côte d’Ivoire have now returned home safely.
Hon. Muntaka added that the situation was a security challenge that required a curfew and dialogue to contain the situation from escalating.
He added that authorities intervened as the situation rose forming a committee to support and facilitate the dialogue process to help residents to return to their homes.
Also, Mr. Muntaka said the response helped to calm the situation and another committee has been set up to ensure effective dialogue between the communities.
“We have set up a committee to ensure talking to each other”, he said.
He further stated that the affected communities shared longstanding family and social ties prior to this incident causing the displacement.
Mr. Muntaka calls for calmness and peace within the Savannah Region and its environs.
