a strong willingness to give to those in need for 20 years they also suffer 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 have 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 does move from fire distance to gambia so there are no stuff does that also the students especially the move from fire distance to come and land in the school if you 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 2030 lead into ongoing conflict between
4:34 pm
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 so many many of us mindy's so many people have been employed not not not necessarily from this a district but it is where and we pay a tax when you look at the infrastructure before we have constructed access what odds into the future is a tremendous well constructed discourse we have of course structured his'n ties but there are also negative aspects resources are gradually dwindling including with supplies in generally 29000 alone one must 6000 more if it is arrived in uganda but east african countries want to keep its borders open and can only manage this
4:35 pm
influx with the help of it money at least for the time being a 2nd us policies continue to be put into action you just saw the very produce 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 the moment over 1000000 refugees leave it 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 their country's refugees. our reporter kimani travel to gulu in north uganda to talk to the people will they speak. uganda has long been seen as an example to the world on how to treat refugees in
4:36 pm
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 does 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 not on uganda specifically be become a safe haven for refugees looking. back northern 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 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 bad desire to leave their home country naturally very few
4:37 pm
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. so it's it's cultural and also the fact that this is a town where there 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 has that come from uganda here for us about what was the i'm going to mean you're going to hear when i come in you're going to hack that when you challenge. me even better than your back when i stay in new york banda to do yes. i met one family in uganda you know sadly we have unity and if we need to move around us. when we're going to different so do you feel
4:38 pm
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 the chile community as a very big man just it makes it so easy for us to welcome there fiji's i need to see in the whole culture no money when people come into your home and the 1st thing problem you give them that you try to solve the problem but if you can and what that is what that chinese. have at heart they have pride of helping people well this is really interesting so you guys are actually you proud of this it's
4:39 pm
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 a blanket. does that all go well with you does that feel like they're taking care of you in the same way that getting killed refugees anyone as a member of that very country sometimes the 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 have been unable to realize yes i have a we have been meant to realize that when we integrate them with enos. like 1st of all we have given opportunity to do tread instead leaders of time to advising us to embrace the opportunity to do trade with them and see you know we can read 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 your
4:40 pm
you folding your face that 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 received but as you say that you know she is happy about being here on your program but the problem but everyone and pessimism so she isn't as ugandan as a ugandan problem or 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 you know in the u.s. and i mean maybe the proof of integration of together and in other places this will show you where they end up people in the cmdr they feel and i've seen it in other reviews that i'm in where some 2 of 3 young boys kept telling me you know are they come here they pass us they give people jobs and here i am struggling i spent 6 hours doing nothing on over there these guys have something to do why don't they give me some walk you know so that feeling again maybe i resist issue yeah i was
4:41 pm
coming to you because looking at sustainability 1200000 refugees were being told that on average refugees and asylum seekers spent 10 years in the host nations. is this something that uganda can continue doing yes because the willingness is there for it to be sustainable there's still lots of work that has got to be dad in terms of. parties see. 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 do you want to go back home one day or is your life now here in uganda and the forgotten the past and this is where you want your life to be. all right. ok so looking at the future of uganda the future of africa whose
4:42 pm
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 responsibility to take care of the fiji's everyone's responsibility maurice i want to close with you 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 technical advice would be that whenever they're coming with a full life given. by such policies they should also knowing that they should respect the cultural norms of the people. here this is a keep basic challenges that we must or time accept themselves must at one point so that we have a union must bring to. maurice thank you so much i believe that's the best place to
