Which country is Juba in?

Juba belongs to the Republic of South Sudan.

South Sudan is a landlocked country in eastern Africa. The land area of China is less than 620,000 square kilometers, and the population is only 1 1.9 million. South Sudan was once a part of Sudan. Later, a civil war broke out in Sudan. It was not until 20 1 1 that South Sudan formally declared its independence through a referendum. It is the youngest country in the world.

Juba is located in the Central Equatoria Province of the Republic of South Sudan and is the capital of the Republic of South Sudan. Juba is the most important commercial and transportation center in South Sudan, with May Street as the main street, consulates of the United States, Britain and other countries, Juba University and other universities. English is widely used there and Dinka is an indigenous language.

Although Islam prevails in Juba, it is different from the Arab world in northern Sudan. There are a large number of Christians and many Christian churches in this city. Juba and the whole South Sudan have had a sense of mystery since the day of national independence, because few media reported its whole picture. Although dilapidated, it is still a pure land for the bustling cities in other places.

Economic level:

According to data released by the United Nations, 90% of the population of more than 8 million in southern Sudan live below the international poverty line. Even with a bumper harvest, there are still 17% people with food insecurity. 50,000 children are threatened by malnutrition every year.

Although natural conditions are suitable for agricultural cultivation, most vegetables and fruits in Juba are still imported from northern Sudan, Uganda, Kenya and other neighboring areas due to the lack of technology among the people. Most foreigners working in Juba are Ugandans, Kenyans and Ethiopians.

However, with the beginning of the investment boom, large billboards have been erected in the city center; Due to the addition of large-scale power generation equipment, the power outage time in Juba has been greatly reduced; The speed of wireless network is gradually accelerating. The southern government has also started bidding for the development projects of large areas of land in the suburbs, hoping to disperse the influx of investors. Representatives of some foreign companies began to enter hotels in Juba to discuss business.
