along religious lines in nigeria is a do not state. hello i'm christie want to 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 leaders agreed to respect each other's sovereignty and refrain from destabilizing activities on each other's territories uganda's you waited was 70 and the one president paul kagame me signed the accord at talks in angola. a with once close allies but relations have turned hostile the conflict between the 2 has led to all the coaches severely disrupting trade in the region to have accused uganda off supporting the rebels uganda rhonda . let's get the view from both sides. on uganda he's in the

capital kampala and friedman. africa good to see you both julius 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. president we know the progress has been signed it's been great news 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 in the business of the border. the people who give money it's to use an old out there really look forward to this border being open anytime 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 contracts for supplies and and so it's really tight for the money they are looking forward to seeing this really

practically applied 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 surely it doesn't mean that all the problems are solved now. 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 that 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 you could have been really was especially looking at the fact that there was a constraint that people could not move across borders from miranda and to uganda at least the ugandans could have had some freedom to move to run but no did run 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 the increasing tensions on each country treating us as 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 know we look forward to the practical implementation of the are we so political will is very important in this but could

have been was right i mean fidel 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 president your i'm 7 and president kagame is 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. 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 are with 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 heard of their own interests i think that's what they need to do at this point of time gentlemen thank you journalist mccumber in uganda federal felony. 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 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 it have you met some of the people who are trying to restore trust between different communities. the faithful have gathered
