The Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, Dr. Kingsley Agyemang, has offered relief support to thirty displaced residents from the Sawla-Gbinyiri conflict in the Savannah Region.

The affected individuals, who are currently seeking refuge at Akyem Kyebi-Oman, received the items through the Abuakwa South NADMO Secretariat on Friday, September 5, 2025.

The relief package comprised blankets, slippers, buckets, bags of gari and beans, sanitary pads, soaps, tissue paper, toiletries, clothing, and other basic necessities.

The items were presented on behalf of the MP by Mr. Samuel Appiah, a former Abuakwa South NPP Organizer and current NADMO Director.

Mr. Appiah explained that the intervention followed an urgent appeal from the Abuakwa South NADMO Secretariat the previous day.

He emphasized the role of peace and unity in development and encouraged residents of Sawla to pursue reconciliation.

Receiving the donation, Abuakwa South NADMO Director, Mr. Aikins Ofori, thanked Dr. Agyemang for his swift response. He appealed to civil society groups, NGOs, and philanthropists to support ongoing efforts to assist the displaced victims.

Mr. Ofori also disclosed plans to work with other state institutions to provide protection, apprenticeship opportunities, and employable skills to help prevent the victims, particularly the youth, from turning to illegal mining and other social vices.

Some of the displaced persons recounted their ordeal, explaining how they were forced to hide in the bush for nearly two weeks before being escorted to safety by the police.

They expressed gratitude to Dr. Agyemang and NADMO for their assistance while urging the government to intensify peace efforts in Sawla.

The clashes, which erupted due to a misunderstanding over a piece of land, have displaced hundreds of residents in the Savannah Region.

President John Mahama has since announced measures aimed at restoring calm and achieving lasting peace in the Sawla-Bole area.
