he prepare itself to meet this challenge. and what is the government doing. in sixty minutes. is going to. the banks. and the wars the language of. speaking the truth global news that matters g.w. for moderns. this is deja news africa coming up in the next fifteen minutes the politics of peace and the people affected by hear from the women and men who live in the town that's at the same to offer reconsideration between ethiopia and eritrea. and a movement in namibia say is enough is enough and demand decent housing. then why don't the african kids that stay the reality will need someone who say is the

future should be different. i'm christine when the while come to africa i'm glad your cheating day if you just prime minister has really paid a starring role when it comes to healing the rift with neighboring iraq trade last june a governing coalition announced that it would fully exception implement the peace deal that would end its all the war with eritrea that wall is today known as africa's deadliest border conflict if you say it has accepted the outcome of 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 still and if you have control. at the end of this road lies about me a highly symbolic town on the border between ethiopia and eritrea. the effects of the war like the dust in the air hang heavy around 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 but me being under eritrean authority for her it would be like handing over a child. who other many people sacrificed their life for. and of the one you have to now you can see the graves in our cemetery. committed. many children grow up as orphans. so why should we give away i love

myself i will die for me just like my husband. reconsideration with eritrea last july was seen by many as a political victory ending decades of instability. many people and bad men were confident that they would benefit from prime minister metz 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 know. that he minister alone cannot decide the border issue. people should have the power to do that. if peaceful dialogue can be conducted together with the people they can

be a solution because they know that. clan leaders mostly elders who traditionally settle disputes who are sent to hold discussions with their neighbors but the eritrean military stopped 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. but the peace process should be organized in a fair way and the people should believe in it one of the cone is given away or it can be no continuous peace. all right back in there from. joins me now for more on this story hi 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 isn't of but to me and there's a rounding area according to the suspects agency around one hundred one one thousand five hundred people live in but of course this is an old data i believe it's more than that so when you decided to hand over to their theory out the big question will be what will be the fate of these residents are they going to become. or is the egypt and government intended to really look at them to other area nobody knows until now there is no information while will happen

regarding the fate of these residents in bottom in the surrounding area and one can only imagine the kind of a seventy people there must be living and but it should say when when is it feel to expect it to hand over the town of. we don't know when and also how. premise that r.b.i. matter if you do it and if you don't president. made so many times within the last couple of months this of and also the top officials from both. sides have been discussing owned by a lot right issues trade road connectivity and such kinds of things but didn't mention when the data going to implement just agreement or when the. handover by dimia if they did to the editor and government so well not to well we have been and when we decide the fate of vitamin ok one last question very quickly

at what is the situation and but much today. today it's calm of course there is skepticism our own. didn't so from the tone and the administrators of the area immediately i immediately after e.p. out of there for i decided this issue there was a demonstration or posing the decision but no way it's can of course but. thus the constitution alrighty it shouted back a lot from hari thank you your own place to call home with electricity water and eighteen toilet now that's not too much to ask right but that is out of three each for many inventions 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 the north and the media and came to study in vain talk and then able to afford city prices she rented a shack father out in the car to tour a township the name cut to tura translates from the local heroes language as the place where no one wants to leave and it's not hard to see why. i destroyed my door open everything in the house for somebody stole my things. this thing is like this. this is not exactly what poor imagined for herself when she made the decision to come to vin 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 her. it's really hard in here it's look i mean i'm twenty seven i supposed to have 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 people 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 how shot 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 access to what did that i don't have to go out in and go five to fish for their. employees were to clean.

so i hope by that time every base 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 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 story is about kids who 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 founding a company court kiki dulls where she's making the toys that she say is 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 we have kinky hair and she just said she wanted straight hair because she likes it and some are she thoughts it's better to have straight 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 is simply the words it's associated with nobility to associate it 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 only come in when 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 yes. the glass and black. because of his good to play which he's done new on that looks like. if there was an african doro it would just puts half of god's ball. on to grow. and it costs. about beautiful. well
