the worst thing there was a huge lack of food there was also huge lack of safe drinking water so i myself was able to provide for him to watch for them as food for the most vulnerable household however it was not. and now they're back to run where we know the security situation is quite there in church and we know that there is no services such as high end two challengers 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 i believe repeatedly. they've been promised that security was improved in iran they've been promised that food and services were available but the people i spoke to were quite skeptical one given that it's of the
7:35 pm
first time the few who were telling me that they were left between choosing between life and hunger or they were telling me that they are free to go but they don't have a choice. all right stephanie of the file if you go you know these people you interacted with and 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. welby need everything but mostly we need security or these are people that have in this month people 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 their food was looted there were old food because there are new places to drinking water and that right there are left in a very vulnerable. we really think of these in terms of protection and that is.
7:36 pm
what all the humanitarian actors can do all right stephanie hit me on the emergency coordinator for the gore camp for doctors without borders thank you welcome. 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 one day fixedly closed that to an across the last week the softer accusing the ugandan authorities off of the treaty detention of one hundred citizens and accusing uganda off backing groups which oppose the rundown government and that has an aide to days and days of long tailbacks at that that. have been waiting to cross the border since last week negotiations have been ongoing to allow the passage of. he called on one day to resolve the current standoff via diplomatic channels and denied that uganda supports armed groups hostile to one president. not downgraded our
7:37 pm
respective indices representations to the advisor to this matters not conducted where the media. should be hunted through the normal diplomatic channels if they received that we should respond to them so hopefully satisfactory and we want to categorically denies that uganda can ever fact it isn't isn't going to. support people who committed genocide in rwanda uganda can never. be discrete right to talk more on this fred move when you're from africa joins me now hi fred what is behind this latest spat. christina what i can say they you know these conflicts sort of conflict between rwanda and uganda did not just start yesterday it's
7:38 pm
a problem that has been there for quite some time but there it is i can say reich two years ago uganda started by arresting some rwandans in fact saying that some of our spies run them 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 clearly 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 say 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 watch clear what is happening it's a conflict between two people i mean president museveni of uganda and president
7:39 pm
kagame me of rwanda one clear this is 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 kagami was part of ugandan military and then later he went to rwanda now he's the sitting president there so seven things that maybe the government should be actually working for him like you know right it's it's just a game of who is big and who is more and no one wants to bow down and respect they 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 the. economic gap between between uganda and rwanda random might suffer a lot because it's
7:40 pm
a land rock kountry but then on the other side randall thought that if you cause this war that we are punishing ugandans who are sending their goods and services to to rhonda but also not on the uganda because they use this this border to send the goods to. and even to broaden 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 highlighting businessmen on both sides fed muffling 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
