Ghana government's 14- day ultimatum to Fulanis in the Agogo area of  the Ashanti region to vacate the community has been described by  Amnesty International as impracticable.

The organisation said such a move is in violation of the rights of the Fulanis and must be reconsidered.

Speaking to reporters, the president of Amnesty International Ghana, Lawrence Amesu, advised the national security to dialogue with the Fulanis to develop a proper relocation procedure which will not inconvenience them.

“There should be a clear laid down regulation asto how people should be asked to move,” Amesu stated. "Giving a person who has live in a certain location for more than a year to leave the place within two weeks, it is not possible. ”

He added: “This is why we think that it is very important for the authorities to sit down with the Fulanis to sit and discuss and come to an amicable solution rather than forcibly evicting them within two weeks.

“It is a violation of their rights but it is also a violation of the rights of other people if it is true that Fulanis are raping women, that their animals are destroying farms of people. ”
