i never would have gone on a trip to cuba i would not support myself and my parents on the 10 year old part of the dream of the going to do to flee who are. mobile and funky because that one group would be the reason why i had serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there who wasn't going to. want to know their story the roy greenslade irvine and remarkable informant for margaret's. business did every news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes the photos who've become friends the presidents on one thing and you got to have ended it disputes that damage trade between they countries where it was 70 and they had accused each other of spying assassinations and meddling. and the efforts to heal divisions along religious lines in nigeria is i do not stage.

hello i'm christine with the welcome to deeds every news africa it's good to have you along one day and uganda have signed a deal aimed at ending months of tensions the need has agreed to respect each other's sovereignty and refrain from destabilizing activities on each other's territories uganda as you waited with 70 and the one president focused on the side via accord at talks in. me with once close allies but relations have turned hostile the conflict between the 2 has led to all the closures severely destruction 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 on uganda he's in the capital kampala and friedman when you. get to see

a book genius 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 money the people who get money 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 you imagine what that means to the trade does what that means to the contracts for supplies and. really tight for the looking forward to seeing this really to practically apply 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 as ends but surely 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 i 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 janice 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 tracon

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 you 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 days 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 the increasing tensions on each country trading a tradition is against each other i think it could have been was but thank god it's finally the 2 leaders of common due to war and have had something that they've seen now we look forward to the practical implementation of their we'll so political will is very important in this but could have been was right i mean for i'll come

back see 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 sure 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 the on the contrary 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 again a small company that 5 of. us africa desk. interreligious violence has been a fact of life in nigeria scotland a state for decades it's led to the deaths of as many as 20000 people there since 1800 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 at some of the people watch 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 johnny the pastor welcomes her encouraging his congregation to reach out to all people across the religious and political divide. is. very. fierce and this is hard. 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 cement for his church which has been under construction for years. this is more the only church i come to where all the churches who do in the states which i do see to it and i do the theme tune to this great stroke i'm

a muslim woman i believe in doing charity and my number who from doing that to johnny studied peace and conflict resolution well she crosses between muslim and christian communities regularly the real success for her is when a lot of people also make that effort all right i was. walks down here to boston college to celebrity christmas. eve 5 before inviting viruses why he would still be on. 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 the north and to the south the north of becoming to most of them well enough south of the government a christian and normal day its residents pos bike to freely but in times of crisis the boundary is difficult to cross. the city hasn't always been like this but

interest 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 janeen work in micro financing she still keeps in touch with traders whom she used to advise on loans and business plans but she doesn't tell them about her new calling. the only know about my a worry in the days that our good run crap that is to. be in the job don't know me weak because i said it's time i am extending that. peace building me sharing day i wasn't too bad with this between here because i wouldn't know the kind of mentality to get how we. both passed a brew and he johnny say more should be done at the state level to stop politicians and clerics instrumental buys 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 possible through 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 with john or ny and the roman catholic archbishop of the capital of 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. wherever he has of churches do on this top level eventually everybody has to be copy suppliant because we're told one has to be with faith is correct for some

christmas about and they want to go with this was to be written like this is that is just 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 and i say good morning as a catholic cardinal and see 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. oh certainly challenge is the channel of the tendency of some people to be so as to feel safe in terms of what the concept of religion namely feeling that. i really need to learn that has the whole truth everybody else is wrong. everybody else is not worshipping the true god i'm truly

warship it is true god to that that makes it difficult almost impossible to seriously talk together is a service to of what one good thing that the country nigeria that we have is that we will grow up used to having people of faith with us even within this family and that makes a lot of difference because you are allowed able then to has to take the. the phenomena of brutality of religions are straight number up just like there are some short people some tall people just as a people are white some are black you can also see so that christers some are muslims i know the difference is different but at the end of it it it is still a matter of different their different understanding of their of got

one other point is the so that religious differences are only one of many things that define this that was the deadliest ag bring i'm talking to john when i can be roman catholic archbishop that's it now for the deed of union africa as always you can catch all our stories on our website at facebook page clinics and i'd like. to . act. i'm not proud of my will not succeed in dividing us and our not succeeded in taking the people off the streets because we're tired of his dictatorship. taking a stand global news that matters d. w. made for mines. the quiet melody
