really become old world. to. our minds to. start thinking return to w. this is deja news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes the politics of peace and the people affected by hiv from the women and men who live in the town that's at the same time off reconsideration between ethiopia and eritrea. and a movement in the libya saying enough is enough and demand decent housing. then why don't the african kids that's the reality we'll meet someone who say is the future should be different.

i'm christi paul come to africa i'm glad you're cheating if you this prime minister has really paid a starring role when it comes to healing the rift with neighboring eritrea last june governing coalition announced that it would fully exception implement the peace deal that would end its border war with eritrea that will is today known as africa's deadliest border conflict if you say it has accepted the outcome off a two thousand and two border commission which awarded disputed territories to eritrea one of those territories is a town in eritrea called bad name it's right on the border with ethiopia has a population of about one thousand six hundred most people they are ethiopian and the town is so that ethiopia's control. at the end of this road lies about me a highly symbolic to the border between ethiopia and eritrea. here

the effects of the war like the dust in the air how heavy. one hundred thousand people were killed. now two decades after the conflict began it still feels like a no man's land and people living here just don't feel as though they're part of the peace process. and as husband died in the war she can't bear the thought of bad me being under eritrean authority for her it would be like handing over a child. and also other many people sacrificed their life. enough that you have to now you can see the grains in our cemetery. many children grow up as orphans. so why should we give away my love find myself i will die for me just like my husband did. reconsideration with

eritrea last july was seen by many as a political victory and then decades of instability. many people and bad men were confident that they would benefit from prime minister meds reforms but now they feel like the agreement is being imposed upon them to the who is the town mayor he is determined to restore the border along the marab river about twenty kilometers to the north and says if europeans and every trans living in the area agree on this that's why he wants discussions at grassroots level. and i'm going. to sign the. people should have the power to do that. together with the people. because they.

plan leaders mostly elders who traditionally settle disputes who are sent to hold discussions with their neighbors but the eritrean military stop them at the border . it was only a child when the first bullets were fired in but me but he remembers it very well for him the war didn't just start in his tone it also has to end here. we the people don't want to fight the eritreans. but the peace process should be organized in a fair way and the people should believe in it when i got the call and given away on it i can be no continuous peace. all right isha sesay back live from. joins me now for more on this story hi isha good to see you assuming that a lot of people who live in the town of. ethiopian if the town is then handed over or when the town is headed over to eritrea what's going to happen to these people.

definitely demarkation we have a very huge impact on that residents of the area that i didn't see of but in the end there's a rounding area according to the. agency our own one hundred one one thousand five hundred people live in but of course this is. i believe it's more than that so when you decided to hand over to. the big question will be while it will be the fate of these residents are they going to become. or is the egypt and government intended to really look at them that area nobody knows until now there is no information where will happen regarding the fate of these residents in the surrounding area and one can only imagine the kind of uncertainty people there must be living and but if it when when

is if he'll be expected to hand over the town of but. reader no way and also how. premise that i'll be on a matter if you do it and if you don't president. made so many times within the last couple of months is over and also the top of the shards from both. sides have been discussing owned by a lot truck issues trade road connectivity and such kinds of things but the. wind is going to implement just agreement or when the going to. handover by demand if they did to the editor and government so we have no clue why we have been and when we decide ok the fate of vitamin ok one last question very quickly what is the situation and but much a day. today it's calm of course there is skepticism

around the area. residents of the power and or so on the administrators of the area immediately up immediately after e.p.a. out of decided this issue there was a demonstration opposing the. decision but now it's can of course but. the consternation alrighty is set about to let from hari thank you your own place to call home with electricity was have and it clean toilet now that's not too much to ask right but that is out of three each for many invent namibia where high prices have pushed more than half of the city's population into rental slums on the outskirts now a youth movement is saying enough is enough. seven years ago a poor ashie one that left to have village in north and the media and came to study

in vain talk and able to afford city prizes she rented a shack five out in the cut to tour a township the name cut to tura translates from the local heroin language as the place where no one wants to leave and it's not hard to see why. i just pardon my door open and everything was in the house or somebody stole my things. this thing is like this. this is not exactly what pool imagined for herself when she made the decision to come to been told but decent affordable housing is in short supply anything more central would simply be too expensive she feels as if the country's government forgets people like our. it's a really hard in here it's not i mean i'm twenty seven i suppose for my own place.

the government to be blamed they don't want to look at people who have low incomes they don't think of those they are the. people with money but without money we need also places we need to have something that is of our own. around have income from waitressing in the city goes to watch our shark once she has paid the taxi fare to work there's hardly anything left to get by on i would love to have a please where. i don't have to go out and go for two fish were there and please where access to clean toilets. so i hope by that time every person and that. they have their own lens or the able to have their own x.

is. of their own that they belong to them. it doesn't look like the property prices here will be falling anytime soon but poor and her friends are already planning what their dream house would be like modest dignified and most importantly something all of their own. ok so the next stories about kids will love playing with dolls and that's probably true across the globe but for many children in africa the choice. of goals isn't really tailored to their identity this video was shot in a toy shop in lagos and as you can see rows and rows off quite dull so the question is does it matter well one woman told us yes it does and she's doing something about it by founding a company called a key key dulls where she's making the toys that she saves african children and relates to a key key started off basically when when my daughter was about the age of four she

came to me after going to like preschool and said she wanted to have her like her friend and a friend of strays here at that time so that's why do you in st we have kinky hair and she just said she wanted straight hair because she likes it and some are she thought it's better to have straight hair i was socialization from childhood has been with characters and doors that don't look like the top dogs at that time were all white it's important to have to have something explicitly at this age when they're looking at things and wondering where they fit in the bigger picture a key key is simply the words it's associated with nobility to associated with courage and confidence my dream for a kid to just go beyond borders and to be able to teach kids in terms of teach them to entertain and also to inspire them in terms of reaching for bigger things that

are out there this is what kids need to see that you know there is diversity out there we don't come and once she colored ok but do kids even notice the difference and do they really not see color so we went out to find out if they think having black dolls is a good idea yet. the glass and black. because of his good to play with new on that looks like. if there was an african. puts of god's will on. our own to grow. that beauty. well she's right and that's it for deja vu news africa for now you can catch all our stories on our website and all facebook page only if you click images
