a bill stephens how mout went to not in uganda to find out sim by sims teach by states if you for any question traits as she makes a new dress surely recently was able to train as a seamstress as part of a year and a project how what destructs from her terrible memories in 2610 she fled with her family from water south sudan to uganda. on the way you know the rebels came they took up property to watch it us in different ways and beat us. levels it's like millions of others from south sudan as well as rwanda or the d.r. see edith and her family found refuge in uganda where 48 here functions differently compared to the rest of the world people are not just confined to a camp like in kenya refugees who arrive here immediately given a work permit and the land which is provided by the communities and their new neighbors who hand over parts of their land they also receive monthly benefits we
1:21 pm
have cash and foot as well because when we give them for dead that is restricted to the 4 that we've given them but when you give them cash they have the option to buy and supplement what about that debt that that is so it's optional. ugandans have a strong willingness to give to those in need for 20 years they also suffered during the civil war the people here know what it means to be forced out of their homes they also benefit from international aid which can be used to build hospitals or schools but of course there are still challenges. as a young school we have enormous talent is one of it is in a frost drug. like the classrooms are not and now we don't how science a laboratory we don't have a library though we have the books but we haven't know where to put them there are so that it has moved from 5 distance to gambia so they are not stuff what does then also the students especially the girl tell more from fire distance to come and
1:22 pm
learn in this school if we must school is an edge of money district in the north of the country 400000 people live here half of them are a foodies some of whom arrived here 50 years ago most are from south sudan where the most recent civil war broke out in 2013 lead into ongoing conflict between rival factions and ethnic tensions have only existed in the region titers juggle their food you discover suffer much money district is happy that their food just were able to find a new place to call home in uganda he believes it benefits the locals to the prisons over to some an interview was mindy's so many people have been employed not not not in a city from the disobey strict but it is where under we pay a tax when you look at the infrastructure development we have constructed access what roads in that if it is a tremendous well constructed discourse we have of course structured his'n ties but
1:23 pm
there are also negative aspects resources are gradually dwindling including wood supplies in general 29000 alone one must 6000 more if we just arrived in uganda but east african country wants to keep its borders open and can only manage this influx with the help of it money at least for the time being a 2nd us policy has continued to be put into action if you saw the very food use will be self-sufficient lexeme stressed it is phony. according to the united nations over 6000000 people in sub-saharan africa are refugees and uganda hosts most of them at the moment over 1000000 refugees live there of course it costs a lot of money to take care of all this people money that uganda doesn't have so how do the people in uganda feel about that do they think it's unfair or do they support that country's refugees. our reporter kimani traveled to gulu in north
1:24 pm
uganda to talk to the people well. uganda has long been seen as an example to the world on how to treat refugees in this country refugees and asylum seekers are not only given possibles of land they're allowed to move freely and even operate businesses their children are allowed to integrate with the children of this place and get a free education but how exactly did this country come to that regulation well we have people here who are meeting me the 77 percent and i want to come straight to jane so how exactly did north and uganda specifically be become a safe haven for refugees looking. back nothern uganda is also a region that is recovering from conflict so it is easy to empathize with the people that are going through war so you find that the people in this place are
1:25 pm
also receptive they are glad to share what they have because i think that many of them appreciate the fact that by the time somebody is a refugee it was not their desire to leave their home country naturally very few people would want to leave their home country to go to another country so it's easy to empathize because of what the region itself has experienced and what the people have experienced so i believe that that is one of the factors that makes northern uganda a safe haven for. oh jesus so it's it's cultural and also the fact that this is a town where the have been survivors of war we have people who are actually refugees you've been in the country for just over 3 years you say how has it been for you why did you come to uganda i mean do you even think about that before you come or is it just circumstances is their comfort to me then to hear from us about what was there i'm putting me in uganda here when i come in you're going to have
1:26 pm
that when you get challenge. for even better you know banda when i was there in your banda to do yes now i met one family in uganda i was sending we have unity and equally thing about us. when you're going to so do you feel welcome yes you feel welcome yes ok so let me ask the young people here your government has said that this is a country where all refugees are welcome but you are the ones who are in the host communities are you ok with this is this is this go for you guys and so if you know it is very free. in uganda most will come and particularly because of the vast land northern uganda especially that chile community as a very big land just it makes it so easy for us to welcome there fiji's i need to see in whole culture no money when people come into your home and deficit problem
1:27 pm
you give them that you try to solve the problem but if you can and what did that is what does chile's. have at heart they have right of helping people well this is really interesting so you guys are actually you proud of this it's a mock up of your identity that you're welcoming so how does it feel when you see your government welcoming foreigners and saying you know what here's apostle of land free of charge here is food that you don't have to buy here of blankets. does that all go well with you does that feel like they're taking care of you in the same way that they're taking kill refugees. anyone as a member of that very country sometimes their priorities not given to you. sometimes you feel it and i would really want back we should be taken as in terms of anything we should be number one but we don't really need to realize yes i have a we have been meant to realize that when we integrate them with enos. like
1:28 pm
festival and we have given opportunity to do tread instead of leaders of a time to advising us to embrace the opportunity to do trade with them and see how we can reap from that ok so it seems it sounds to me the biz a lot of sensitize ation that's been done but john i want to come back to you real you folding your face like you have something to say to me i think it's not it is the views of the whole study tell me how they're if you use are going to be comfortable how they're going to be being received but as you say that you know she's happy about being here on your program but the problem that everyone in pessimism so she isn't as he gunned down as a ugandan problem even. more hungry sometimes they find that the price of oil some of these was really high you know you always wonder about all these things yeah in that in that sense i mean maybe the proof of integration of together and in other places especially where the younger people on the cmdr they feel they have seen it
1:29 pm
in other refuse that i'm in where some 2 of 3 young boys kept telling me you know are they come yeah they pass laws they give people jobs and here i am struggling i spent 6 hours doing nothing and over there these guys have something to do why don't they give me some walk you know so that feeling again maybe i was just issue i was coming to you because looking at sustainability 1200000 refugees were being told that on average refugees and asylum seekers spent 10 years in their host nations. is this something that uganda can continue doing yes because the willingness is there for it to be sustainable this in lots of lead has got to be dad in terms of. party c. engagements sensitize issues and then actual implementation of changes that need to be to be to be addressed ok let me come back to the 2 ladies from south sudan what's your wish
1:30 pm
do you want to go back home one day or is your life now here in uganda and you've forgotten the past and this is where you want your life to be. done up until now confess i don't i didn't miss him a minute all right. ok so looking at the future of uganda the future of africa whose responsibility should be to take care of those who are fleeing is it only the responsibility of uganda or you stuff in community or should the western world be involved as well i think doing you know. based on my opinion i think rights everyone's response because it's taken a bit of fiji's everyone's responsibility maurice i want to close be clear because we've seen the pictures around the world refugees and asylum seekers in other parts of the world being stopped at the border and told no entry for you what lessons can be learned from uganda my took an acquired rights would be that whenever they're coming to settle whether for life or for a given day should a bible abide by such set policies and they should also knowing that they should
