  • FAILING STATE-INTERVENTIONS and WITCH-HUNTS in GHANA Felix Riedel, Phd Anthropologist
    TWO „RESETTLED“ WOMEN FROM BANYASI, FOUND 200 KM AWAY IN TINDANG, ANOTHER CAMP FOR WITCH-HUNT VICTIMS. FAILING STATE-INTERVENTIONS AND WITCH-HUNTS IN GHANA Felix Riedel, PhD Anthropologist For twenty years Ghanaian state agencies have been announcing the closure of the so- called “witches camps”. A recent resettlement-campaign led by MOWAC and the NGO ActionAid Ghana has aggravated the problem and exploited victims emotionally in a staged mass-resettlement. In Ghana, state-run “resettlements” have failed initially and are only slowly modified. Through former actions, traumatized victims of violence were put under permanent stress and fear. This report seeks to contribute to a better understanding of a best practice for and with witch-hunt victims. CLOSURE, FRAUD SUMMARY OF THE AND TRAUMA CAMPS THE MALTREATMENT OF WITCH- There are 10 sanctuaries for witch- HUNT VICTIMS IN NORTHERN hunt Victims in GHANA Northern Ghana: - Gambaga SUMMARY - Gushiegu The government of Ghana and ActionAid, a multinational NGO claimed in late 2014 to have resettled large numbers of victims accused of - Gbintiri witchcraft. Fact finding missions in early 2015 and late 2016 as well as - Nabule testimonies with reliable and hardened experts in the field have clearly disproved such claims.

The advertised resettlement exercise of 50 women, - Gushiegu Town the “closure of the Banyasi camp” turned out to be entirely staged for - Kpatinga the media. Only recently and due to the diplomatic efforts of the Witch- hunt Victims Empowerment Project (WHVEP) and the Gambaga - Tindang/Gnani Outcast-Home Project (GO-Home-Project), state-actors seem to be adjusting their strategies, 1 without admitting former failures.

  • A History of German Presence in Nawuriland, Ghana
    African Studies Centre Leiden, The Netherlands Gyama Bugibugi (German gunpowder): A history of German presence in Nawuriland, Ghana Samuel Aniegye Ntewusu ASC Working Paper 133 / 2016 African Studies Centre P.O. Box 9555 2300 RB Leiden The Netherlands Telephone +31-71-5273372 E-mail [email protected] Website www.ascleiden.nl © Samuel Aniegye Ntewusu, 2016 GYAMA BUGIBUGI (German Gunpowder): A HISTORY OF GERMAN PRESENCE IN NAWURILAND, GHANA Abstract This paper discusses general political and economic issues in Nawuriland during and after German colonialism. The paper argues that the legacies of German colonialism are still largely seen and felt in Nawuriland especially in plantation projects, land and chieftaincy. Introduction The Nawuri are part of the larger Guan group in Ghana. Guans are believed to be the first settlers in modern day Ghana. They are scattered across eight of the ten regions in Ghana- namely Greater Accra, Ashanti, Eastern, Brong Ahafo, Volta, Northern, Western and Central regions. Guans speak distinct languages that are different from the major languages in Ghana examples of which include the Ga-Dangbe, Akan and Ewe. Guans in the Volta Region include Kraakye/Krachi, Akpafu/Lolobi, Buem, Nkonya, Likpe, Logba and Anum-Boso. In the central region there are the Effutu, Awutu and Senya in Winneba and Bawjiase. One finds Larteh, Anum, Mamfi and Kyerepong in the Eastern region. The Gonja, Nawuri, Nchumburu and Mpre people in the Northern and Brong Ahafo regions. Some indigenes of Kpeshie in Greater Accra also claim Guan ancestry.1 Geographically, the Nawuri are located in the North-Eastern part of Ghana. They are about 461kms away from Accra, the capital of Ghana.

We investigated the frequency of fire use, control and perceptions of fire regime for 13 selected livelihood and socio-cultural activities in six districts in the Guinea savanna of Ghana. The 14 majority of respondents (83%) across the study districts indicated that they used fire once a year for at 15 least one of the following activities: land preparation, weed/grass/pest control, burning stubble after 16 harvest, bush clearing around homesteads, firebreaks, charcoal burning and hunting. The study showed 17 a higher frequency of fire use in the dry season for land preparation for cropping. Less than a fifth of 18 the respondents (17%) indicated that they do not use fire for any of the above activities.
