on to egypt and president. who will lead the block for the next year the main focus of this year's summit is involuntary migration ones because africa is home to a quarter of the world's refugees and ethiopia has become the continent's second largest food for displaced people. well some four hundred thousand of them are in the region funny five chart visited a refugee camp there please note that some viewers might find this just reports disturbing. we are traveling through a beautiful but dangerous region need to sell sudanese in the impoverished lowland of ethiopia. a whole bed of conflicts among different ethnic groups. behind me that's also a young and independent nation but the fighting over there continues more than two million people fled to neighboring countries like you feel pia but this country

produces hundreds of thousands of this place people all the it's own athlete clashes violence droughts and flooding so what's the perspective for refugees here . it's the o.p.'s become africa's second largest refugee hosting country in the gambell a region refugees number almost as many as ethiopians about four hundred thousand like this camp is home to sixty thousand traumatised 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 what we got in the bed room and her family feel safe

us where almost focusing on the life savings out of. food food food hills. and under so on outside the camp there are mixed feel. among the local population if you o.p.'s ethnic new are are more while 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 so. they're straining our resources we are getting poorer and 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. is that we don't see any improvement regarding the
