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 there were staying there was a huge lack of food there was also huge lack of safe drinking water so i myself was able to provide drinking watch 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 there in church and we know that there is no services such as high end food shelters etc ok stephanie thanks a question man who's responsible for for making these people return to a place that's no better than when they missed it. when all those 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
4:20 am
security was improved in iran they've been promised that food and services were available to the people i spoke to were quite skeptical one given that it's of the first time in the future for telling me that they were left between choosing between life and hunger or they were telling me that they were are free to go but they don't have a choice. all right stephanie and the fine let 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. well be need everything but mostly we need security or these are people that have been to three month people dying before and it appear that the other attack will happen soon they will have been prevented. but then during the attack you know their shelters were burned their food was looted we all believe food because there are no places to be drinking water but rather an act in

a very vulnerable. we really big need in terms of protection and that is. what all the humanitarian actors can do 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 destruction 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 this after accusing the ugandan authorities off obviously the detention of one hundred citizens and accusing uganda of backing groups which oppose the london government and that has made to days and days of long tailbacks at the tuna crossing and waiting to cross the border since last week negotiations have been ongoing to allow the passage of perishable and flammable
4:22 am
goods the 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 denied that uganda supports armed groups hostile to russian president paul kagame e. well not downgraded our respective indices representations would advise that those matters not conducted where the media. says they 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 we are going to. affect it is any set going to kind of support people who committed genocide in rwanda uganda can never. be discreet right to talk more on this fred move when you're from africa joins me now hi fred what is behind this
4:23 am
latest spat. christina what i can say they should know 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 like 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 their 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 and now it's getting bigger and bigger each day and fred as you said there this troubled relationship stretches back decades and there have been
4:24 am
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 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 me seventy because kagame it was part of ugandan military and then later 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 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 the each other but it's not a problem between rundowns and ugandans as such it's
4:25 am
a problem between two two two two presidents talk to us about this border crossing that's helping 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 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 to uganda because they use this this border to send the goods to. and even to bring the 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 businessmen on both sides
