For me, that will never end the conflict. So, we need the leadership of Parliament and well-meaning Ghanaians to come and talk to the young ones to unite because, if you look at the nature of the area, we are all related in one way or another.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to understand that it is important for us to live in peace so that we can enjoy development because we have serious developmental issues over here. If we don\u2019t stop it, funds will either be diverted to providing security, or even contractors and other people will withdraw from the area.
