The Catholic Bishop of the Navrongo-Bolgatanga Diocese, Most Reverend Alfred Agyenta, has appealed to security personnel deployed to the Upper East and North East Regions to uphold the highest standards of professionalism in their efforts to restore peace, particularly in the conflict-affected Bawku area.
Addressing the ongoing unrest, Bishop Agyenta affirmed that the Catholic Church remains actively engaged in the region despite growing insecurity, with church personnel continuing to serve vulnerable communities.
“We have not withdrawn our personnel because we believe they need to stay and help those who are suffering,” he stated.
The Bishop, however, stressed the need for improved security and protection, calling on the government to take swift and decisive action.
“We need security and protection. That is why we are calling on the government to act, so that once life and property are secured, we can continue engaging with the people and assist them.”
He highlighted the dire situation in some communities, especially schools and humanitarian hubs, which are now inaccessible due to safety concerns.
“There are people suffering, and we are unable to reach them because the area is not secure. We used to deliver food to vulnerable groups on both sides of the divide, but now we cannot even get supplies to them,” he lamented.
Bishop Agyenta’s comments underscore the urgent need for sustained government intervention to restore peace and ensure that humanitarian efforts can reach all affected populations across the region.
