INTRODUCTION

1.1       Background of the Study

            This research work titled Gokana/Tai relations since 1960-2015 is limited is focused on the relationship between both communities and its neighbouring communities as well as well.

            According to Oxford Advance Learners Dictionary. Relationship can be define to be the way in which two people, groups, or countries behave towards each

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Findings have shown that inter communal conflict has continued to orchestrate a state of insecurity leading to the destruction of lives and properties. In the context of this research, both communities have lost enormous properties and lives. The atmosphere of insecurity have made it difficult for development to take place, as no investor will want to invest in an area in which his investment is not secured.

Land and boundary related conflict have generated insecurity, destruction of lives and properties. It is therefore important to carry out third research, with the aim of finding the causal factors, intervention, efforts, peace negotiation and resolution.

Inter communal conflict has truncated efforts towards sustainable development and has foster disintegrated. Apart from some notions issues that precipitated communal crisis such as land, water and other resources, politics has been another contributing factor. It is therefore imperative of finding ways of enhancing coexisting and utilization of natural resources for the benefit of all and to foster good communal living in a symbiosis manner.
