The Ghana Network for Peacebuilding (GHANEP), the local wing of the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding, (WANEP) is cautioning against certain issues it says pose a threat to national security. GHANEP said numerous chieftaincy disputes, increasing politically motivated youth violence, heightened negative activities by Fulani herdsmen as well as a rise in political intolerance on radio are matters that must be addressed urgently as they pose serious threats to human security across the country. In a press release as part of its quarterly security briefs resulting from its National Early Warning System, GHANEP challenged Ghanaian politicians to be bold to condemn the actions of their followers when they go wrong and allow them to face the full rigours of the law. Further, GHANEP also challenged politicians to have constant interaction with the youth in their areas so as to identify their talents and explore avenues of developing these talents, and urged the youth to eschew violence and not allow themselves to be used by others to achieve their selfish interests.
