6:32 pm
they came here seeking safety tens of thousands of refugees from run in northern nigeria fleeing violence from boko haram. got a number go. up when the military left we had nor the possibility but to leave we had nothing to defend ourselves with so it was better to leave. and. just a few weeks later there's not much left of this camp at the cameroonian village of gura medical charity m.s.f. posted this picture here is the empty space in front of the m.s.f. clinic cameroon after refugees from ron left this morning before that this place was bustling with a life. aid agencies say the refugees were told to return by officials from cameroon and nigeria and there's concern about their safety back in run.
6:33 pm
reports indicate their return or dire need of humanitarian assistance international and national humanitarian organizations have not returned to run since jerry seventeenth due to ongoing insecurity. back then a boko haram attack on the town left fourteen people dead but those who fled have now had to retrace their journey in reverse. we're joined now by stephanie on she's the emergency coordinator off the. when those people came in go to following a new upscale of violence in their town in nigeria on their flight to come because they were afraid because they were scared. they were kept in a very precarious situation with very little services available on the sites where they were staying there was a huge lack of food there was also a huge lack of safe drinking water so i myself was able to provide drinking watch
6:34 pm
for them as food for the most vulnerable household however it was not. their own back to run where we know the security situation is quite and church and we know that there is no services such as high end food shelters etc ok stephanie thanks the question then who's responsible for for making these people return to a place that's no better than when they missed it. when all that we know is that last week authorities from cameroon and from nigeria came to the side spoke to them and to leave repeatedly. they've been promised that security was improved in iran they've been promised that food and services were available but people i spoke to were quite skeptical and given that it's of the first time the few who were telling me that they were left between choosing between life and hunger or they were telling me that there are free to go but they don't
6:35 pm
have a choice. all right stephanie of the finally achieved. you know these people you interacted with them you spent time with them while they were at the camp what kind of help do these people need and perhaps what can the international community do. well be need everything but mostly we need security or we there are people that have been. dying before and it appear that the other attack will happen soon and that they will have prevented. but then during the attack you know their shelters were burned to their food was looted there were old school food there are no places . drinking water but rather an act in a very vulnerable. we really big lead in terms of protection and that is. what all the humanitarian arcturus can group all right stephanie jaime on the emergency coordinator for the gore camp for doctors without borders thank you welcome.

now a diplomatic spat between one day and uganda has led to severe disruption to cross border traffic and she is a further deterioration of relations between the two neighbors want a fake to be closed but that to an across the last week this after accusing the ugandan authorities off obviously detention of one hundred citizens and accusing uganda off backing groups which oppose the wonder and government and that has an age to days and days of long tailbacks at the crossing have been waiting to cross the border since last week negotiations have been ongoing to allow the passage of perishable and flammable goods a tuna carries the vast majority of trade between the two countries. spoke to ugandan government spokesperson or formal he called on one day to resolve the current standoff via diplomatic channels and deny that uganda supports armed groups hostile to one president or. well not downgraded our respective indices
6:37 pm
representations would advise that this matter is not conducted with the media. and if they should be hunted through the normal diplomatic channels if they received that we should respond to them support fully satisfactory and we want to categorically denies that we're going to kind. fact it is any set going to kind of support people who committed genocide in rwanda uganda can never go to this as the discrete right to talk more on this fred moving from africa joins me now hi fred what is behind this latest spanish christina what i can say. this conflict sort of conflict between one and uganda did not just start yesterday it's a problem that has been there for quite some time but there it is i can say that
6:38 pm
like two years ago uganda started by arresting some rwandans in fact saying that some of our spies run spies coming to uganda to spy on uganda and to disturb rise the country and when seventy started to crack down on some runs he was saying that we need to organize our security apologises so that's where the problem started are now it's getting bigger and bigger each day and fred as you sit there this troubled relationship stretches back decades and there have been incidents in the past but i guess what we would want to know is how serious the current tensions. i mean this is for us as random people who were clear what is happening it's a conflict between two people i mean president museveni of uganda and president
6:39 pm
kagame a of rwanda one clearly says all things that you know i groom to you i raised you i trained you as a soldier that's the side of i'm seventy because it was part of ugandan military and then retired he went to rwanda now he's the sitting president there so seven things that maybe government should be actually working for him like you know reich it's just a game of who is big and who is more and no one wants to bow down and respect the each other but it's not a problem between rundowns and ugandans as such it's a problem between two two two two presidents talk to us about this border crossing that's now been closed fred what does that really mean if you look at. economic games between between uganda and rwanda random might suffer a lot because it's
6:40 pm
a land rock kountry but then on the other side randolph though that if you cause this border we are punishing ugandans who are sending their goods and services to to rhonda but also not only uganda because they use these this border to send the goods to. and even to brune this so it's they were targeting ugandans and their market which which on one side it was because uganda started. all right you know saying protesting and then but now it's changing because no one it doesn't solve anyone's interest at the end because it's healthy and businessmen on both sides. move on me what insight they have from the top the africa thank you. you're welcome ok so people are celebrating carnival it many places around the world so you might be thinking rio de janeiro in brazil well let me introduce you
