  • The Nkonya -Alavanyo conflict is a conflict between the (ethnic guans) and the (ethnic Ewes) in the Volta region of Ghana. The conflict started between two individuals during Ghana's colonial days. A German surveyor, Dr Hans Grunner, drew a map of the then German Togoland in 1913 which created more problems than solve the land dispute between the Nkonyas and Alavanyos. The Alavanyos claimed that the map was drawn to favor the Nkonyas. The Alavanyos base their argument on a local border tree called Anya as the true boundary between their land and that of Nkonyas. The Nkonyas have refused to acknowledge the Anya tree as the true boundary. The land under dispute is about 6,459.82 acres and is believed to have deposits of gold, clay and bauxite. The land's soil is also rich for the growth of timber, bamboo, and very fertile for the cultivation of cocoa which makes it more valuable to the disputants. (en)
