7:30 pm
i. probably will not succeed in defining the subtle not succeed in taking the people off the streets because we're tired of the stick trying to show me. taking a stand global news that matters. made for mines. hello and welcome to the 77 percent i was so far off because young majority i am one. are you under 35 years old then you are in the right please we focus on the issues that impact you coming up on today's program. we traveled to north in uganda with our boy to eat in a minute well local shed their force on that country's generous refugee 20 feet.
7:31 pm
then we head over to angola where musician much in uniform is talking duck. and behold into the ring with both federal land of the team in the media. while many countries are turning refugees away and tightening their board does uganda still welcomes them in high numbers it's the but largest refugee whole thing nation in the what so how exactly do you guide as a refugee. and what are the challenges. on a bill stephens how much went to not in uganda to find out simba sims teach spice teach it if for any question traits as she makes a new dress surely recently was able to train as a sense dress as part of a youth and project how what distracts from a terrible memories in 26 didn't she fled with her family from water south sudan to uganda. on the way of the rebels came they took up property tortured
7:32 pm
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 refugee aid 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 have ice and foot as well because when we give them food get that is restricted to the 4 that we've given them but then you give them cash they have the option to buy and supplement what about that debt that that is so it's optional. you cannot 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
7:33 pm
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 these things to come here so there are no stuff what does then also the students especially the move from fire distance to come and learn in the school if woman 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 the refugees were
7:34 pm
able to find a new place to call home in uganda he believes it benefits the locals to the prisons over the so many 1000000 euros mindy's so many people have been employed not not not necessarily from disability but it is where and we pay a tax when you look at the infrastructure before we have constructed access what odds in that if it is a tremendous well constructed discourse we have of course struck that it is in tatters but there are also negative aspects resources are gradually dwindling including would supplies in general 29000 alone almost 6000 more if you just arrived in uganda but the 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 policies continue to be put into action you just saw the very produce will
7:35 pm
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 at 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 that country's refugees. are reports 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 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
7:36 pm
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 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 empathise with 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 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 empathise 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
7:37 pm
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 that compliment them to hear from us about what was the i'm going to mean you're going to hear when i come in you're going to hear that when you challenge. me even better you're back when i stay in new york banda to do yes. i met one family in uganda i was standing at unity and equally be welcomed us. so do you feel welcome yes you feel welcome yes ok so let me ask the young people here your government has said that
7:38 pm
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 restless. northern uganda. chile community as a very big one that is so 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 fishing problem 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
7:39 pm
land free of charge here is food that you don't have to buy here or 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 the priorities not given to you. sometimes you feel it and i would really one that we should be taken as in terms of anything we should be number one but we don't really make me realize yes i have a we have been meant to realize that when we integrate them within us. like 1st of all we are given opportunity to do tread instead of leaders of our time to advising us to embrace the opportunity to do trade with them and see you know we've been ripped 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
7:40 pm
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 the ugandan problem even. more hungry sometimes they find that the price of oil something is was really high you know you always wonder about all these things you know in that in that sense i mean maybe the proof of integration of togetherness in other places especially where the young people on the cmdr they feel and i've seen it in other refuse that i'm in where some 2 or 3 young boys kept telling me you know are they come yeah they pass us 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 yeah i was coming to you because looking at sustainability 1200000 refugees were being told that on average refugees
7:41 pm
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 is similar to rock that has got to be dead in terms of. party c. engagements sensitizing and then 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. mr 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 because you don't you the responsibility of uganda or you suffer can community or should
7:42 pm
the western world be involved as will i be doing you know. based on my opinion i think rights everyone's responsibility to take care of their fiji's everyone's responsibility maurice i want to close the queue 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 are coming to settle whether for life given they should abide by such set policies and they should also knowing that they should respect the cultural norms of the people that they are finding here this is a key basic challenges that we must. accept. that we have a union must bring to. maurice thank you so much i believe that's the best place to wrap up this conversation and we've heard it's ugandans are saying our doors are open but terms and conditions apply we've been in gulu and as of learn to
