to their holy land but israel doesn't recognize the. hello i'm christine want to welcome to news africa it's good to have you along it's been 30 years since the wall of bilin fell marking a turning point in european history germany as we know it today used to be 2 separate countries communist east germany often referred to as the g.d.r. and capitalist west german not east backed germany was already east germany was backed by the soviets was behind the iron curtain and as sealed border separated the 2 germany's while the war in berlin became a symbol for the separation and the days off its fall on the 9th of november 1989 is commemorated in re unified germany now to commemorate the 30th anniversary off

this event a team off the african journalists traveled along the former border here on their impressions. well you have to imagine 30 years ago there was like the burden war was in berlin we had this berlin wall here right on our border to what was then the rest germany and we were here far we have cut off not only from the west but also from the east. i believe most people are happy with the current situation that germany is now united and the people in the former g.d.r. can now live freely for i believe mckernan. it's an awesome gift but also members of tuscaloosa. this is how many germans feel 30 years after the fall of the berlin wall but our treaty which started in moderate and ended up in blockade they showed us that the form of the wall has also some negative impacts but 1st let's put things into perspective as part wide germans are generally celebrating this day

imagine you have a family of 5 people and your own living in one village and often night the government decides to plant this in the middle of the a village your father and uncles end up living on the other side of the wall and you in some siblings on the other side sergeants who are mining the wall are also monitoring every move you're taking in everything you say tanks also patrolling your village now and then into see your family you need a special permission which usually was not granted to cross it we found a mission you would risk being abreast of big shot. and that was for more than 30 years when we visited the museum in moderate a village with 47 population and was divided during the g.t. all my colleague and should a bachelor had a hard time to take this all in. order for these 3 kids.

are similar to the west we have in our lives they are from russia. so. it brings a memory you know the army when they pass. the army how he's going to. present it in the. psychology for so many years so what kind of feeling do you get when you see them. who are really. and this. is good it was also here where we were reminded how difficult it can be for some instruments to shake off growing up in an hour thore tarion state where they were closely watched before giving us an interview or a street i insisted on seeing our i.d.'s something she say's shows the continuing differences between the 2 germans as attrition i am writing to the arrow between the former g.d.r.

and the former federal republic of germany there are very deep and very substantial differences reasons mesa going to trigger the arms this has to do on one hand that germany has always been a sovereign state and that the mentalities of the people from the east and west have always been different she ran. the fall of the wall today for some also maintenance in their jobs in their lives and it would be sure to rather a town in that to remediate state was among those towns affected this mining was closed down in 1903 against a backdrop of protests and hunger strikes will but maybelle was among those who protested he and his colleagues were laid off and where only paid a small compensation he and many people living here are disappointed neville thinks this is why many people in this town would not vote for anglo macaws christian democratic party city who today rather the socialist left party all the far right alternative for germany ice tea party. reacts to

a real indication has changed very little and voters are now reacting because for many years the syrian government has not implemented what it has promised the migration of voters from the c.d.u. to the f.t. is very unfortunate. after the fall of the wall hundreds of thousands of people moved away from the towns like to look for jobs elsewhere this time and many places it is true many into ghost towns but now the strange has slowly as instruments moved back to the former east germany. now booking a fossil has begun 3 days off national mourning for the $38.00 people who were killed in an attack on a convoy transporting mineworkers destroyed families are still waiting for release of the bodies of the deceased in a deadly ambush is among the deadliest attacks in the past 5 yes. this bus was

carrying local workers from the cane made in gold mining company similar for when it came in their attack it was part of the convoy being is courted by the military it's reported that an explosive device truck sold the is be called before again men opened fire actually search its people were killed dozens are feared missing now relative of those killed want answers from the government there waiting to bury their loved ones. i haven't seen my husband for 2 days and i came here today to see his body and take the body and leave i don't care what the minister says saying here it won't bring back the dead. leave it some of the wanted are being treated in this hospital in the capital. came to visit his brother. you know. he told me that the bullet

hit his leg and he hit the floor but. then others came above him and there were more and more shots. because the others were on top of him and he was underneath god protected him. pretty easy. he got 2 bullets in the legs and in his toes as well. we really live in fear this is really a disaster for us. it was among the deadliest attacks in book you know facile in nearly 5 years the government says jihadists are responsible and you know sort of the country has been engulfed in violence and roughly half a 1000000 people have been displaced president vowed that security forces will hunt down what he calls terrorists 0 order i have ordered the recruitment of volunteers for the defense of the country in the areas under threat only a concerted mobilization of the sons and daughters of the nation regardless of

region ethnicity political opinion or religion can defeat these murderers. this week france an announced a joint military operation with the book cannot be army at the border with these air and areas that are hot bed of jihadists at t.t. for now military efforts are failing to stem the unrest as the security situation deteriorates across this hot hill region. thousands of jewish ethiopians are living in limbo while waiting to immigration israel their chances of leaving ethiopia and joining relatives who have already made them complicated by religious faxes israel doesn't recognize them as true. these ethiopian children pray with the torah a part of the hebrew bible they are some of it europeans last remaining jews about

4000 jewish peons who call themselves better israel live here in gondor a small city in the north. the school teaches children about their jewish faith but also prepares them for a possible move to israel. i listen to me that my fellow hebrew and if i learn about their religion it will help create and integrate within the society there and support one another. as well members want israel to give them a visa to emigrate but some of gondor have been waiting more than 20 years as enough yes after i moved from the countryside to gondor 12 years ago now he's one of the synagogues religious leaders he explains the origins of judaism in ethiopia . we came to ethiopia because god dispersed the bay to israel into the 4 cardinal directions so we came down from egypt we came here following the shores of the blue nile others went to america germany and many other countries

under israeli law jews are allowed to move to the country but the israeli government doesn't view the better israel of gondor as jewish under strict religious law that's because the government says they are descendants of ethiopian jews who were forcibly converted to christianity in the distant past. many of them actually converted or their parents converted to christianity for various reasons and now they are if. we should to return to be part of the jewish people they are not considered as jews so that already live as jews but officially them not yet converted so the jews i see nothing as half assed as this is discrimination. some say we're not jewish and there are no more jews here they say we're lying that we're just pretending so we can go there they think will make the religion impure but the only one to know the truth is the god that created us. many

of the community has family living in israel the israeli government has been gradually allowing its europeans remaining jews to immigrate under family reunification laws but it's not clear when people will be allowed to go meeting sometime in the split for more than a decade you know that being alone is very difficult my husband was raised by his mother together with his 6 brothers but now 5 live in israel so he was very sad when they got separated he let go but i'm not going to end up working there so i can to move to gunderson who starred with her husband and children after someone burns down their crops her life is tough but she's grateful her daughter can attend the town's hebrew school. with knowledge about her religion she will marry someone who has the same fate and follow the religious practices. and i hope she will one day live with her family and her people i really hope that my children.

despite the struggle and wait hope is higher than those jews that one day they will be allowed to leave they just don't know where. and at the top indeed everything is epic as always you can catch all our stories like the one you've just seen on ethiopian jews on our website and facebook page don't forget and we'd love to hear from you next time i write. earth hope to millions of species. google ideas stories of creative people and innovative projects around the world like to use the protect the climate boost green energy solutions and reforestation . using interactive content to inspire people to take action the idiots.
