Deadly land dispute in northern Ghana displaces nearly 50,000 people

At least 31 people have been killed and nearly 50,000 displaced following violent communal clashes in Ghana’s Savannah Region, sparked by a land dispute in the village of Gbiniyiri. The conflict, which erupted in August, has forced more than 13,000 Ghanaians to seek refuge in neighbouring Ivory Coast, with authorities now racing to restore calm, provide aid and investigate the root causes of the unrest.
