Gonja-Mamprusi conflict

The Gonja-Mamprusi conflict is a conflict between the members of the Gonjas and the Mamprusis at Lukula in the North Gonja district in the Savannah Region, Ghana. The conflict first began in 2019 when the government of Ghana intended to create the Savannah Region and North East Region out of the Northern Region.

Background
The conflict started in 2019 after the Wasipe Traditional Council of the Gonja Kingdom decided to enskin a chief to overlook the Lukula community. The Jang Traditional Area also claimed ownership of the community. This led to disputes between the two Traditional Areas.
