This is the BBC.

Thank you for downloading from our own correspondent.

This fascinating edition was broadcast on Radio 4 on Saturday, the 17th of December,

Hello, today is Christmas already biting into your piggy bank.

Imagine if your money was going to halve in value every two weeks as in Venezuela. A new man at the top

of the UN in a fractious world but at least he enjoys a meeting of minds. And more money worries in Uzbekistan, and then there's a cash

and scores of thousands heading to the Mediterranean from impoverished African countries.

The spotlight though has yet to fall on Uganda,

where the 340,000 have fled from brutal civil war in South Sudan.

Alistelithhead has been to a small village in northern Uganda,

which in less than six months has become one of the world's biggest refugee camps.

There's an image from more than 20 years ago that's still etched in my mind.

It's a long hilly, red earth road and it's full of people walking.

On their heads are sacks of food or possessions pots and pans wrapped up for the long journey,

perhaps a mattress. They're all walking in one direction, away

from the mass killings, the destroyed villages. They're fleeing the Rwandan genocide.

I thought of that image as I stood in northern Uganda looking over the border into South Sudan,

squinting in the bright sunshine at the long red earth path snaking down the hill to a narrow river waiting for the people to come.
