| has gloss | eng: The Kusasi people (var. Kusaasi) are an ethnic group in northern Ghana and southern Burkina Faso. They speak the Kusaal language, a Gur language. Geography With around 400,000 Kusasi found in the Bawku Districts of northern Ghana which are inhabited by a mixture of peoples including the Kusasi themselves who are more or less the autochthonous people, Mamprusi who come over from across the White Volta in Mamprugu in the era preceding the colonization of the area and other minority groups like the Bisa or Busasi, Moshie, Moshie, Fulani and Bimoba communities. Kusasi and their neighbours who live in their midst have not been very good in recent times. It appears control of Bawku and the paramountcy located there has been the issue responsible for the sour relations and the ethnic distrust. This is in spite of the fact that for many decades, the various ethnic groups have maintained good relations and ethnic intermarriages mediated by a substantial bride wealth settlement have been characteristic of the area. |
