we take it personally are you ready with all of the wonderful ones to make the dream so special. true true for. you go more than 4 long line. this is g.w. news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes the foes who've become friends the president's old ones and you got to have ended it just fears that damage trade between countries you waited was 70 and oh god they had accused each other of spying assassinations and meddling. and the efforts to heal divisions along religious lines in nigeria is a do not stage. hello

i'm christine with a welcome to news africa it's good to have you along one day and uganda have signed the deal and ending months of tensions has agreed to respect each other's soften t. and refrain from destabilizing activities on each of those territories uganda as you waited was 70 and the president spoke of gummi side via cold at talks in angola with 70 of the gummi with once close allies but relations have turned hostile the conflict between the 2 has led to all the closure has severely disrupting trade in the region one to have accused uganda off supporting the rebels uganda accuse randa of sty. let's get the view from both sides now julia gumbel on uganda he's in the capital kampala. africa good to see you both janice i think maybe start with you i mean we're talking about a border that's been closed since about february i'm just give us

a sense of just how bad things have gotten on the ground and when that border will actually open. we know the progress has been signed it's been great for the people in uganda for the people in rwanda but this is great most especially for the cross border trade does and the people that survive and the business of. the people who might makes you use an old out there really look forward to this border being open any time soon otherwise it's been really tight for the business for 6 months you can imagine what that means to the trade does what that means to the trucks for supplies and. really tight for the looking forward to seeing this really. right fred i'll come to you now i mean so you know we have the signing ceremony we saw the 2 need is almost touch. but show me it doesn't mean that all the problems are solved. yeah definitely it means

that it's a good step of course that these 2 leaders came together to disagree on something but i think what happened in rwanda was just like they are treating signs but they're not treating the real cause of the disease and i'm not sure if really they they spoke openly to each other i mean the president. and the president yoweri museveni so i'm still skeptical about this peace agreement genius i'll come back see here i mean we're talking about trade having been hitting and yet you went on to illustrate people not having had business for 6 months i think people can sort of imagine that but could this have gone beyond the trade could the implications have gone beyond trade and and perhaps what would have that been like i think looking at what's been reported in the

last 6 months yes someone can clearly argue that it could have been worse could have been really was especially looking at the fact that there was a constraint that people could not move across borders from around until you got at least the ugandans could have had some freedom to move to round but no divine these coming to uganda how much of an impact that could be is way so much other than trade you could look at students studying in uganda you could look at be increasing tensions on each country trading arches asians against each other i think it could have been was but thank god it's finally the 2 leaders of common the to war and have had something that i now look forward to the practical implementation of their will so political will is very important in this but could have been was right i mean for i'll come back to you and you're going to finish this off for us i mean you talked about how skeptical you are of all of this and i wondered i mean we know that the hostility between these 2 men is probably still there what are the chances

something like this can happen again. i think these 2 presidents i mean have president your i'm 7 and president khatami what they need is actually to come together in one room 2 individuals they don't need an immediate and if they need a mediator they don't need. a president or the congo president to you know to to bring them together what they need is to speak to each other i do and then you know tackle their own issues because what is happening between rand on the uganda it's not the issues between. the conferees on their own the country of it's between these 2 guys i mean it's about the egos of 2 presidents and this cannot be just be solved by a media type it's just for them to put their national interest interests i had of their own interests i think that's what they need to do at this point of time

gentlemen thank you janice mccann buying it and the fact of. africa desk. interreligious violence has been a fact of life in the jarius cuddliness state for decades it's led to the deaths of as many as 20000 people there since 1980 much of the trouble has been confined to rural areas in the past but since a spike in violence about 20 years ago the christian and muslim communities in the state capital have become more and more segregated but not everyone is prepared to accept the divisions as they stand each of you met some of the people what trying to restore trust between different communities. the faithful have gathered for a service at christ angelical church in ca tuna. a special guest is peace activist dramatically johnnie the pastor welcomes her encouraging his congregation to reach out to all people across the religious and political divide.

here is over. here since his heart. left friday. after. the pastor and the activist know each other well they have traveled together throughout the state to hold peace dialogues and to offer support to people forced from their homes by conflict today dramatically johnny has come to support him she brought several bags of salmon for his church which has been under construction for years. this is more church i come to. the states which i do see tate and i do the. greats show them as a muslim woman i believe in doing charity and my numbers are going to journey studied peace and conflict resolution while she crosses between muslim and

christian communities regularly the real success for her is when a lot of people also make that effort or brighten up. walks down here to boston scholars to celebrity christmas. if i'd been born in baton virus it was. yet still being. such a show of unity is important in katrina where for almost 20 years muslims and christians have been living in separate parts of town this bridge it's in the boundary between cut in the north and to the left out to the north that predominantly muslim but not south of the government of christian the normal day its residents caused by to freely but in times of crisis the boundary is difficult across. the city hasn't always been like this but interreligious violence and other conflicts often fuelled by political rivalries have torn the community apart. for safety reasons to johnny keeps her work and private life separate before

starting a peace initiative to johnny work in micro financing she still keeps in touch with traders used to advise on loans and business plans but she doesn't tell them about her new calling. the only know about my writing today is that our good run crap that is. the new job did no new week because i study time i am extending that. peace building in the sharing day i wasn't too bad with this people here because i wouldn't know the kind of mentality to get how we. both passed a brew and he journeys say more should be done at the state level to stop politicians and clerics instrumental mys youths for political gain. to govern should do more. because the trust of the martyrs the government. and those who really do is on politicians who use this young men these youth to achieve their

political. drama to johnny and pastor who have one main goal to restore peace in the tuna for that they work tirelessly to bridge differences between muslims and christians in their hometown. our correspondent a ybor him caught up with john on a can be roman catholic archbishop of the caps off nigeria she started by asking him whether the crossing the religious divide should be an individual toss all needs the intervention of the church both both. whatever he has of churches do on this top level eventually everybody has to because peace bryant because we're talking has to do with faith is great for some person and they want to good things with the big picture like this is that is to get opportunity for individuals to meet one on one basis and get to do with i'm not

a better when i see is a restaurant for the 1st time i see a good manas as other catholic cardinal i was if you with that already. established a link which can go very far. what are some of the challenges that you face in nigeria in crossing the religious lines that divide people sometimes. 30. is the age of the tendency of some people to be so as proof safe in terms of. what a concept of religion namely the feeling that. i really need a loon that has the whole truth everybody else is wrong. everybody is not worshipping the true god i'm truly washed it is true god to that that makes it difficult almost impossible to seriously talk together is

a service of what one good thing that the country nigeria that we have is that we will grow up used to having people off but our faith with us even within this family and that makes a lot of difference because you are allowed you are able then to has to take the the phenomenon of plurality of religions your stright snow mark just like there are some shock people. people. block you so the christers muslims i know the difference is different but at the end of the day it is too much of different that different understand it or. of got. a point is that religious differences are only
