Challenges of Mediator/Peacemaker Chiefs

A good lesson for practitioners and others who might be engaged for one reason or another as mediators.
In recent times there has been some challenges between the Chiefs of Tuobodom and Techiman, both in Brong Ahafo Region, which led to some clashes partly reported in the news item in the link below.

For us as Practitioners and students of Dispute Resolution there is one thing however that is of interest to us: That the Asantehene is the chair of the Committee of three (3) eminent Chiefs Mediating the Dagbon chieftaincy dispute; and that the Techimanhene is a member of the National Peace Council are worth our attention.

The lesson(s) may be quite obvious.
