Gbinyiri conflict

In August 2025, a land dispute erupted after a chief sold a land to a private developer in the community.[5] The violence started after the developer attempted to commence work which led to confrontations.[2] The clashes forced thousands to flee from the community.[6] Some fled to the Ivory Coast,[7] and later returned.[8][9] Some also fled to the Wenchi Municipality in the Bono Region of Ghana.[10][11]
