future should be different. i'm christine linda welcome to news africa i'm glad to change it if you notice prime minister has really paid a starring role when it comes to healing the rift with neighboring era trade thoughts judith governing coalition announced that it would fully exception implement the peace deal that would end its all the war with eritrea that will 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 ruling which awarded disputed territories to eritrea now one of those territories is a town in eritrea called bad it's right on the border with ethiopia has a population of about one thousand six hundred most people they are ethiopian and the. souness thailand if you have control. at the end of this road lies about me
4:17 am
a highly symbolic town on the border between you and every tree. here 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 bad me being under eritrean authority for her it would be like handing over a child. many people sacrificed their life for me and of that you have to not you can see the graves in our cemetery. many children grow up as orphans. so why should we give away.
4:18 am
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 meds reforms but now they feel like the agreement is being imposed upon them to whom 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. the prime 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
4:19 am
they can be a solution because they know that. the 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 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 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
4:20 am
or when the town is headed over to eritrea what's going to happen to these people. definitely the demarkation will have a very huge impact on the residents of the area that i didn't see of but in may and there's a rounding area according to the suspects agency around one hundred one one thousand five hundred people live in by them of course this is an old data i believe it's more than that so when you decided to hand over by the mid to air theriot 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
4:21 am
regarding the fate of these residents in bottom in the surrounding area and one can only imagine the kind of uncertainty people there must be living and that but it had to when when is it the opium expected 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 of and also the top officials from both. sides have been discussing on by a lot of issues strange road connectivity and such kinds of things but the didn't mention when that is going to implement disagreement or when they are going to. handover by dimia if they did to the editor and government so we have no clue what will happen and when they will decide ok the fate of vitamin ok one last question
4:22 am
very quickly as to what is the situation and but much today. today it's calm of course there is skepticism are around the area. residents so for the phone and or the administrators of the area immediately immediately after if you have to for a decided this issue there was a demonstration or posing. decision but no it's of course but. that's the consternation alrighty issued to buckle up from a hearty 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
4:23 am
a youth movement is saying enough is enough. seven years ago a poor guy she one had left to have village in 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 heroin language as the place where no one wants to leave and it's not hard to see why. this problem i don't open everything was in the house for 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 vin talk but decent affordable housing is in short supply anything more central would simply be too expensive she feels as if the country's government
4:24 am
forgets people like her. it's really hard in here it's look i mean i'm twenty seven i suppose i 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 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 has hardly anything left to get by on i would love to have please where exist what did that i don't have to go out in and go for two fish were there and places where i'm access to clean toilets. so i hope

by that that every person and that. they have their own lens or the able to have their own x. is. that 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 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 dolls 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 white 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 called kiki dulls she's making the toys that she say is african children
4:26 am
and really 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 folks were doing straight we have kinky here and she just said she wanted straight here because she likes it and some are she thought it's better to have straight our socialisation from childhood has been with characters and doors that don't look like the top dogs at the 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 oki is simply words it's associated with nobility to associate to courage and confidence my dream for a kiki is 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 when she colored ok what 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 be put off africa as war on the. only grow. it costs. because that beautiful. well
