Over 13,000 Ghanaians now refugees in Côte d’Ivoire following Gbiniyiri land dispute - Interior Minister confirms

At least 31 people have been killed and nearly 50,000 displaced following violent communal clashes in Ghana's Savannah Region, sparked by a land dispute in the village of Gbiniyiri. The conflict, which erupted in August, has forced more than 13,000 Ghanaians to seek refuge in neighbouring Ivory Coast, with authorities now racing to restore calm, provide aid and investigate the root causes of the unrest.

Ce qui n'était au départ qu'une querelle autour d'une petite parcelle de terrain a dégénéré en un violent conflit intercommunautaire. Le 24 août 2025, dans le village de Gbiniyiri, situé à la frontière Nord-Est du Ghana, un affrontement meurtrier a opposé les Brefors et les Gonjas, deux communautés soeurs pourtant connues pour leur cohabitation pacifique. Le bilan est lourd : plus d'une trentaine de morts et des centaines

Communal clashes in northern Ghana that started late last month have killed at least 31 people and displaced nearly 50,000, officials said Thursday, with more than 13,000 fleeing across the border into the Ivory Coast. The violence in Ghana’s Savannah Region broke out on August 24 in the village of Gbiniyiri, near the Ivorian border, the result of an escalating land dispute that has engulfed a dozen communities.

The tension in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District has forced hundreds of residents, particularly women and children, to flee their homes for safety.

Watu wasiopunguwa 31 wameuawa na wengine karibu 50,000 wamekimbia makazi yao kufuatia mapigano makali ya kikabila katika eneo la Savannah nchini Ghana, yaliyosababishwa na mzozo wa ardhi katika kijiji cha Gbiniyiri. Mgogoro huo uliozuka mwezi Agosti, umewalazimu zaidi ya Waghana 13,000 kutafuta hifadhi katika nchi jirani ya Côte d'Ivoire. Mamlaka kwa sasa zinafanya kazi kurejesha utulivu, kutoa misaada, na kuchunguza chanzo cha machafuko hayo.
