a fair fresh. thanks for joining us i'm marian evans teen. leaders from across the african continent are in the ethiopian capital addis ababa for the annual african union summit rwandan president paul kagame e who is the outgoing head of the a u has been pushing for the body to expand its powers he has just passed the baton on to egypt and president sisi who will lead the block for the next year the main focus of this year's summit is involuntary migration africa is home to a quarter of the world's refugees and ethiopia has become the continent's second largest host for displaced people. well some four hundred thousand of them are in the region to w.'s funny for charge visited

a refugee camp there please note that some viewers might find this report disturbing. we are traveling through a beautiful but dangerous region needed so sudanese border in the impoverished lowland of ethiopia. a hotbed of conflicts among different ethnic groups. behind me that's all sudan a young independent nation but the fighting over there continues what than two million people flock to neighboring countries like you but this country produces hundreds of thousands of this place people obviously own athlete clashes violent droughts and flooding so what's the perspective for refugees here. if you become africa's second largest refugee hosting country in the region refugees number almost as many as ethiopians about four hundred thousand like this camp is home to sixty thousand traumatised refugees who fled fighting in south sudan.

when the war erupted in south sudan children were set on fire and many others were abducted. the soldiers even killed blind people. people were forced to eat dead bodies and have sexual intercourse with family members the boys were forced to have sex with their mothers. this trauma will not be forgotten. in the. brewery and her family feel safe in this camp it's supposed to be a temporary home but they've been here for four years already without permission to work outside the camp she fears the future looks dim. when my husband was in south sudan he had a job but now he doesn't this is a problem because we depend on a lack of education is also a problem and i want education for my children and for myself and only then will we have a chance here and you know here. that's just one of the problems in the camp run by

the u.s. . and if you open government. when we compare the number of the refugees with the sort of visit we are providing to the refugee it is very. tender that was states by the united nations high commission for refugees people and the list resource and we are keeping almost. providing the basic service which is lives inside of us we are almost focusing on the life savings out of. food food food. and under so on outside the camp there are mixed feelings among the local population if you ethnic know are are more well coming off refugees because many arriving from south sudan are from the same group but its u.p.s. apnic and work say they feel threatened. many of these refugees

come from south sudan they're straining our resources we are getting poorer so the government should help us to if not there could be clashes with the refugees. here in the city the new prime minister has promised opportunities for everyone refugees and locals but unemployment is very high in the region especially among young people. he said we don't see any improvement regarding the youth. there are no jobs we're trying to get ahead on our own. but we don't get very far. playing pool costs five or twenty us cents is the only form of entertainment they can afford and the lack of prospects truck ethiopians to the streets to demand jobs last year if the employment prospects aren't force coming soon existing tensions over land and the city could

boil over. as i mentioned earlier the african union summit is getting underway in the theo being capital addis ababa and forced migration is a big topic of the agenda correspondent maria guest nicholas is covering that meeting and joins us now for more maria thanks for being with us so according to the united nations sub-saharan africa host more than a quarter of the world's refugees what's being done to address their needs. so first of all it's important to understand that a very big number of refugees are actually displaced in their own country africa is host to more than eighteen million internally displaced people who are considered to be the most vulnerable population so the chairman of the african union commission actually just earlier stressed the importance of addressing the root causes of the displacement of the majority of conflicts in the region as well as

increasing copulation at the continental level which is with which this time it's supposed to do by creating african humanitarian agencies but just now around us got me handed over chairmanship to do you see and human rights organizations have already voiced concern about this as there are choosing egypt as parties us human rights violations and keeping in mind that the african union chairmanship has relatively limited powers what can do you anticipate it is that you might put the focus on security issues including when it comes to addressing these placements on another level countries also have to pass internal laws to protect refugees and integrate them into society and there have been some role models in the region for that constance you. recently passed a law that will integrate the refugees in their work sectors i mean it well why don't we talk a bit more about those host countries particularly ethiopia which you mentioned

uganda and also sudan what are the main challenges that they're facing. so uganda is the country in africa with the most refugees and europe has the world's countries with the most internally displaced people so the challenge will be to implement these refugee laws which the u.n. secretary general already has praised and have that they are very progressive while at the same time addressing the concerns of the local population and the issue as often is financing of the integration programs as well as job creation and so at the same time it's important to set up conditions for refugees to return to that country whenever it is possible the intervention of these retched return needs are is a very difficult task no only in my marriage you have read your attorneys actually go back to their initial home. marrying again i think a lesko reporting from addis ababa thank you very much. now let's get you up to
