Ivorian refugees at Nsuta-Beposo in the Sekyere Central of the Ashanti Region are appealing to President Mills to help restore lasting peace in their country. The refugees claim to be descendants of former Ivorian leader Houphouet-Boigny who is believed to have migrated from Nsuta in the Ashanti region of Ghana. They say having shown neutrality in the post-election conflict, President Mills is well placed to help bring down tension between supporters of newly installed President Alassane Ouatarra and ousted Laurent Gbagbo. The arrest of Mr. Gbagbo and swearing in of Alassane Quattara has been hailed as a development that would ensure peace in the once glamorous West African state. The Ivorian refugees however believe more needs to be done to restore order in the World’s highest cocoa producing country. A Spokesperson of the group, who pleaded anonymity, tells Nhyira FM’s Ohemeng Tawiah that attacks on perceived Gbagbo loyalists must stop, adding dialogue should be encouraged in local communities. She dismissed suggestions Mr. Gbagbo’s arrest will automatically bring peace. First she wants President Mills to use dialogue in bringing-out lasting peace to Ivory Coast, while imploring him to hang on to his neutrality. "We need more dialogue. President Mills should continue to be neutral to bring reconciliation... He did not show support for Quattara or Gbagbo when the conflict began. He should prevail on leaders of the two factions to give peace a chance," she said. She further urged President Mills to employ all tactics to ensure all Ivorians who ‘‘were wounded’’ by previous governments are ‘‘healed’’ to ensure complete reconciliation. "Ivorians who were victimized by previous governments may want to retaliate against their opponents. "Especially, Gbagbo supporters may be peeved. Such people still habour ill-feelings against their opponents. "It is ordinary Ivorians who need reconciliation, not the politicians," the spokesperson said. Meanwhile, the Ghana Immigration Service has begun registering the refugees who are reluctant to go to the Refugee Camp at Mpehi in the Western Region. One of the minors who joined some Ghanaian returnees is already reported sick. Sekyere Central District National Disaster Management Organization Coordinator, Donkor Fuseini, told Nhyira News the registration will prepare the ground for the United Nations High Commission on Refugees to take over responsibility for the refugees.
