ok stephanie it begs the question then who's responsible for for making these people return to a place that's no better than when they nifty this. well all that we know is that last week all three chiefs from cameroon and from nigeria came to this 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 along 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 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

what do they need everything but mostly they need security these are people that have been displaced most people are dying before and the fear is that another attack will happen soon and that they will have to see again. but then during just sex you know their shelters were burned to ashes their food was looted so they will also need food the kind of services new places kristie drinking water that drugs are next in a very vulnerable state. really big news in terms of protection and i suspend helping what all the humanitarian actors can do all right stephanie jaime on 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 fictive

closed that to an across the last week the softer accusing the ugandan authorities off all betrayed 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 tune of crossing mari's have been waiting to cross the border since last week negotiations have been ongoing to allow the passage of perishable and flammable goods between a carries the vast majority of trade between the two countries. spoke to ugandan government spokesperson or formal it called on one day to resolve the current standoff via diplomatic channels and denied later positions would raise it does matter is not conducted where the media. should be funded through the normal diplomatic and if they received the dense we should respond to them support for the sets were clear and we want to categorically denies that you are going to kind of

rise in fact it is any set you 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 move when you're from africa joins me now hi fred what is behind this latest special. know christina what i can say they you know these conflicts sort of conflict between rhonda 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 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 apparatus is 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 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 prison kagami 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 gandhi 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 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 the. economic games between between uganda and rwanda random might suffer a lot because it's a round rock kountry but then on the other side randall thought that if you cross the border we are punishing the ugandans who are sending their goods and services to rhonda but also not on to uganda because they use these 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 and businessmen on both sides. of any 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 to carnival in guinea-bissau. a joyful celebration of culture guinea-bissau as konovalov was originally brought over by portuguese colonizes but after gaining independence in one nine hundred seventy four the country made contrail it. was
