Ghana Deploys Troops to Burkina Border After Deadly Attack & Terror Threat | Firstpost Africa| N18G

Ghana has deployed troops to its northern border with Burkina Faso following a deadly attack in the conflict-hit town of Bawku, where three students were reportedly killed in an ambush. The town, gripped by a long-running ethnic leadership dispute between the Mamprusi and Kusasi groups, has seen repeated violence despite peace efforts. Its location near Burkina Faso, a hub for jihadist activity, has raised fears of extremist spillover into Ghana. While no direct terror links have been confirmed, officials warn the volatile situation could be exploited by militants. The government says it is shifting from peacekeeping to active peace enforcement in the region.
