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.

'Not safe for us': Sudanese in north Africa warn fleeing relatives of danger
Mohammed, 35 years-old, from Kutum, South Darfur, Sudan, was working as a construction worker in Tunisia, but he has found himself homeless after the 21 February racist speech of the Tunisian president. Since then, he organized together with his fellow Sudanese friends protests for a safe evacuation from Tunisia, which he doesn't consider anymore a safe country.People who sought route to Europe before fighting erupted in Khartoum speak of police brutality, torture and homelessness.
According to the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR), more than 800,000 people may flee Sudan as a result of the fighting that erupted between the army and the RSF last month.

'Not safe for us': Sudanese in north Africa warn fleeing relatives of danger
Hundreds of refugees from different subsaharan countries, mostly Sudanese, are protesting in front of IOM Tunisian office in the capital Tunis, after they were forced to move from the previous protest camping in front of UNHCR office. They are asking for their right to be safely evacuated from Tunisia, instead of crossing the sea where they risk their lives.People who sought route to Europe before fighting erupted in Khartoum speak of police brutality, torture and homelessness.
According to the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR), more than 800,000 people may flee Sudan as a result of the fighting that erupted between the army and the RSF last month.

'Not safe for us': Sudanese in north Africa warn fleeing relatives of danger
Demonstration on Saturday February 25, 2023: an anti-racist, anti-fascist demonstration to protest against the xenophobic statements of President Kais Saied, who accused sub-Saharan migrants of invading Tunisia, and against the violence that ensued. Numerous people were beaten, surrounded, their houses set on fire, just because they were black. Civil society responded with this demonstration in solidarity with refugees and migrants, reaffirming that Tunisia is African and there is no place for racism.People who sought route to Europe before fighting erupted in Khartoum speak of police brutality, torture and homelessness.

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.

'I saw people dying on the road': Tigray's traumatised war refugees. People who fled fighting in northern Ethiopia tell of atrocities and gruelling journey to Sudan.
Tigray was plunged into conflict on 4 November, when Ethiopia’s prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, ordered a military campaign against the region’s ruling party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front. Abiy accused the TPLF attacking federal military camps in Tigray and seeking to destabilise the country, which the TPLF denies. Accounts have emerged of appalling violence committed by multiple actors on both sides of the conflict, but with communications down and the media barred, it has been impossible to independently verify incidents – and who was responsible.
