From garrison town to goldrush city: life in Africa's youngest capital
Twenty years ago, Juba, in South Sudan, was a small army settlement. Now, oil money and immigration have turned it into a precarious boomtown - but for many life has never been tougher.
Since April, when war broke out in neighbouring Sudan, more than 6,000 of the country's refugees have arrived in Juba. Most ended up at Gorom, south-west of the city, a camp created years ago to host Ethiopian refugees. Here, food is scarce. Refugees share the little humanitarian assistance they get with some support from the Sudanese community in Juba. The lack of aid has already driven some young people back to Sudan, or even to Libya.
In many ways, Juba tells the story of South Sudan. The country broke away from Sudan in July 2011, after a period of autonomy that started at the end of the second Sudanese civil war (1983-2005). By then, Juba was a small garrison town of the Sudan armed forces (SAF) that had been surrounded for years by the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) rebels, led by John Garang.
The soon-to-be youngest capital city in the world became the centre of a new "goldrush". With oil money flowing into the coffers of a nation that needed to be built from scratch, and the financial backing of western donors, Juba attracted a large influx of well paid humanitarian workers and diplomats, traders, investors and jobseekers from neighbouring Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia. They flocked into Juba to claim their share of this new market for imported food and goods, but also for lucrative contracts in services and infrastructure.

From garrison town to goldrush city: life in Africa's youngest capital
Twenty years ago, Juba, in South Sudan, was a small army settlement. Now, oil money and immigration have turned it into a precarious boomtown - but for many life has never been tougher.
Since April, when war broke out in neighbouring Sudan, more than 6,000 of the country's refugees have arrived in Juba. Most ended up at Gorom, south-west of the city, a camp created years ago to host Ethiopian refugees. Here, food is scarce. Refugees share the little humanitarian assistance they get with some support from the Sudanese community in Juba. The lack of aid has already driven some young people back to Sudan, or even to Libya.
In many ways, Juba tells the story of South Sudan. The country broke away from Sudan in July 2011, after a period of autonomy that started at the end of the second Sudanese civil war (1983-2005). By then, Juba was a small garrison town of the Sudan armed forces (SAF) that had been surrounded for years by the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) rebels, led by John Garang.
The soon-to-be youngest capital city in the world became the centre of a new "goldrush". With oil money flowing into the coffers of a nation that needed to be built from scratch, and the financial backing of western donors, Juba attracted a large influx of well paid humanitarian workers and diplomats, traders, investors and jobseekers from neighbouring Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia. They flocked into Juba to claim their share of this new market for imported food and goods, but also for lucrative contracts in services and infrastructure.

July 4, 2017 - Wau, Wau, South Sudan - Women and their babies, displaced from their homes by fighting and many severely malnourished , seek medical treatment at the San Daniel Berneu hospital, run by Salesian nuns and the Wua archdiocese in South Sudan. Since civil war erupted in South Sudan three years ago, millions have been displaced, including thousands who sought refuge on the grounds of the St. Mary Help of Christian Cathedral in Wau. The town was attacked by rebels in June last year, and the ongoing civil war has kept people where they are, with only minimal rations from the World Food Program, which hasn't delivered rations here since March. Across the country-- the world's newest nation after gaining independence with US support in 2011--fighting has displaced more than two million people and left vast swaths of the population near starvation (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)
