al-jazeera as mohamed vonn who's at the border crossing point don not far from the border we hear so the conflict in northern ethiopia having repercussions regionally not least in sudan tell us about the numbers of refugees who are still trying to make that last thing into ethiopia. yes this is the 100 border crossing it is one of the biggest official crossings between sudan and. on this side you can see behind this river which is called the city it dividing the 2 countries and on this side on the sudanese side you can see all these people are refugees these are each appear a few g.'s you don't see anyone on the other side because that's where they came from early in the conflict. that gives you an idea about you know the fear these people in these people to this side of the river looking for protection in sudan also at the center of the village not far from here we have hundreds and hundreds of refugees waiting to be transported within sudan itself situation

a bit complex and the number is rising the sudanese authorities told us just a while ago that. the number like a few days ago was about 400 today now it is it has risen to about 800 to 1000 today because there was fresh fighting according to them within each opiate self in the zone in the area. 2270 kilometers west of the cup to make kili so it's closer to the border usually the refugees come from and beyond but now they come from further inside utopia because there is fresh. i think as they told us. between sudan and there's oh not far from here is a disputed zone a disputed farmland between the 2 countries adding to the complexity of the situation as explained in the following report. the sudanese army on patrol near the border it's on the lookout for refugees who might

be stranded in the area after escaping the fighting in ethiopia's north integrate region brigadier general because it is proud of his country's humanitarian role for . a bit of mushroom global news for the 1st 12 days before aid agencies arrived the people of get a reef were the 1st to offer food blankets shelter and comfort to the refugees the sudanese armed forces organized transportation for thousands of civilians and brought them to hash camps. the hash also known as village 8 hosted 15000 refugees in the 1st 2 weeks after the fighting started integrate these homes were borrowed from local sudanese farmers to host the refugees so that is aid agencies prepared food in the camps there is one of so many sudanese in the head shop a village who share their small homes and modest meals with the refugees. we look at if europeans as part of our family our neighbors and friends we have you

started ties with them so when the war broke out we went out into the streets and open fields looking for those who came here fleeing the fighting. so that itself is going through chronic inflation fuel shortages and other economy problems stability at its borders is of utmost importance where the war in its european has brought to the fore another on resolved issue here what i stand is the facade of farmland thousands and thousands of active militants asemi fields and this land is actually disputed between ethiopia and so than. the triangle where most of the refugees are staying covers an area of about 250 square kilometers and it has about $600000.00 acres of felt thailand so that says it's an integral part of its territory because it lies west of the line drawn by colonial britain but ethiopia maintains an army presence here and if you open

a pharmacy exploit huge parts of the land a joint committee has been trying for years with little success to finalize a border demarcation. pointing to it across the adjacent up body for this sudanese farm he's unequivocal. abode is a well defined we're not really for compromise our government has allowed these ethiopians to settle on our land but we object to them and we will fight them to the last minute to be restored fully that's the paper we made without. and sisters we haven't crossed into ethiope interior tree or do they want to take you. doing the 1st few days of the fighting integrate some each european army units abandoned their bases within flash and the void was filled by the sudanese army now it's commanders tell us they're not intending to cede those positions to be choppin army if it tries to return. let me explain to you more about the situation of these people you see on the sudanese side of the river these are not people who have just

crossed actually they know the leave. presently they are staying in the village in the sudanese village of one diet so they come here to water their animals to wash their clothes and to refresh themselves in the river but when we ask them questions about why they are here why they cross them so none of them accept to talk to us so it is not fear but they feel that because they are very close to the children border it's just a few meters away some of them talk about how last month by the military on the other side some of them say the more of their family members are prevented from crossing so you don't see a lot of people crossing here many of them look for other points unofficial crossing points particularly there is a there is a land that belongs to any dividing sudan and each opiah not far from here just a few kilometers away your forty's here told us that more and more a refugee is are coming through those unofficial crossings are not from this

official one all of these people are being moved slowly to camps within sudan itself but some of them are resisting and say they want to stay close to other members of their families their homes behind this inside the top itself that tells you a lot about the psychological situation they live in and the fact that they really don't want to escape from the country or leave the country but they want peace there so that they can go back manage valve reporting live from the hyundai border crossing between sudan and. his foreign minister has faced criticism for pressing ahead with the military operation aimed to grace the u.n. says fighting is not complicating efforts to deliver humanitarian aid despite reaching a deal with the government for access a deliveries are not expected to arrive empty grow until next week but the e.u.'s crisis commissioner calls the un deal not acceptable and one sided it says it only extends to government controlled areas the african union sent envoys to at is have

a violate last month in the hopes of finding a diplomatic solution to the crisis but prime minister abu ahmed insists this is a law enforcement operation and has warned against outside interference william davison is a senior ethiopia analyst at the international crisis group he explained the reaction from the african union certainly frustration and this sort of the a peace and security architecture that's been established by the african union over decades and has been put to use and jane many theories of political instability and conflict and it that's not being welcomed by the if the government but of course you know when i went to state resists an african union mediation or intervention creates a problem for your legislation and that's a particularly acute problem when it's a love read to be powerful country like egypt which then of course is the ideas and irrelevant position of being the headquarters of the african union so this

certainly frustration and concern but there's limited options and you have to push through some form of intervention until the time of the federal government is accepting to it. to india now where farmers are meeting government officials as they continue to push to overturn laws which they say will damage their livelihoods tens of thousands of farmers have been protesting at entry points to the capital new delhi for more than a week now the prime minister held talks with this top ministers early on saturday to china breaking past elizabeth has more from the single border crossing. so we are at single border crossing which is the main protest site there are 3. protest sites with thousands of farmers of blocking 3 key highways into the indian capital on the borders between the states of heidi and delhi and the state off with the predation and delhi thousands remain camped out here even as those 3rd rounds of 3rd round of talks take place between the government and farm huge and leaders very
