Juba was established in 1920–21 by theChurch Missionary Society(CMS) in a smallBarivillage, also called Juba. The city was made as the capital ofMongalla Provincein the late 1920s. The growth of the town accelerated following the signing of theComprehensive Peace Agreementin 2005,[3]which made Juba the capital of theAutonomous Government of Southern Sudan.Juba became the capital of South Sudan in 2011 after itsindependence,but influential parties wantedRamcielto be the capital. The government announced the move of the capital to Ramciel, but it is yet to occur.
History
editUnder theKhedivate of Egypt,Juba served as the southernmost garrison of theEgyptianarmy, quartering only a handful of soldiers. Disease was common; soldiers often fell ill due to themalaria,meningitisandblackwater feverthat was prevalent in the region. Explorers and campaignersSamuel BakerandFlorence Bakerused the nearby island ofGondokoroas a base during their expeditions to what is nowSouth Sudanand northernUgandafrom 1863 to 1865 and 1871 to 1873.[4]
The present city of Juba was established on the site of a smallBarivillage, also called Juba,[5]where theChurch Missionary Society(CMS) had established a mission and the Nugent Memorial Intermediate School in 1920–21.[6][7][8]In the late 1920s,Anglo-Egyptian officialsordered Bari residents to relocate so that a new town could be constructed to serve as the capital ofMongalla Province.[9]The site was chosen by Anglo-Egyptian officials partly because of the presence of the CMS Nugent Memorial Intermediate School there, and partly because its proximity to river transportation on theNile.[10][11]Major construction of the new city of Juba was underway by 1927.[9]Traders fromRejafrelocated to the new city in 1929, and the Governor's office of Mongalla was moved there in 1930.[12][13]
Greek merchants supplying the British Army played an early and central role in the establishment of Juba in the early 1920s.[14]Their number never exceeded 2,000, but because of their excellent relationship with the native Bari people and the large amount of resulting assistance they received, they built many structures in the downtown Juba Market area as well as in the area that the contemporaryBritish soldierscalled the Greek Quarter, which is today the small suburb of Hai Jalaba. Many of these structures are still standing today. Public buildings such as the Ivory Bank, Notos Lounge, the old Sudan Airways Building, Paradise Hotel, and the Nile Commercial Bank and Buffalo Commercial Bank were all built by Greeks. Greek merchants were responsible for the construction of the Central Bank building in the mid-1940s, as well as the Juba Hotel in the mid-1930s.[15]
From the establishment ofAnglo-Egyptian Sudanin 1899 the British administered southern Sudan separately from the north. In 1946, without consulting Southern opinion, the British administration began instead to implement a policy of uniting the north and the south. To facilitate the new policy, theJuba Conferencewas convened as a gesture to southerners,[16]the hidden aim being the appeasement of northern Sudanese nationalists and theEgyptian government.[17]
Until 1956, Juba was inAnglo-Egyptian Sudan,which was jointly administered by the United Kingdom and theKingdom of Egypt.In 1955, a mutiny of southern soldiers inToritsparked theFirst Sudanese Civil War,which did not end until 1972. During theSecond Sudanese Civil War,Juba was a strategic location that was the focus of much fighting.[citation needed]
In 2005, Juba became the interim seat and the capital of theAutonomous Government of Southern Sudanafter the signing of theComprehensive Peace Agreement(before the agreement,Rumbekhad been the proposed interim capital). With the advent of peace, the United Nations increased its presence in Juba, shifting its management of operations inSouthern Sudanfrom its previous location inKenya.Under the leadership of the United NationsOffice for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs,the United Nations established a camp known as "OCHA Camp", which served as a base for many United Nations agencies andnon-governmental organizations.[citation needed]
Juba became the world's newest national capital on 9 July 2011, when South Sudan formally declared its independence from theRepublic of the Sudan.However, influential parties including the South Sudanese government expressed dissatisfaction with the city's suitability as a national capital, and the government proposed that a newplanned citybe built as a replacement capital elsewhere, most likelyRamcielinLakes.[18]
On 5 September 2011, the government announced the capital of South Sudan would move some 250 km away from Juba toRamciel,which is located in the middle of South Sudan, about 60 km East ofYirol West County,Lakes State.As of June 2020, the move has yet to occur.
In September 2015,nearly 200 people were killed in a tanker explosion in Juba.[19]
Since the beginning of the2023 Sudan Conflict,approximately 6,000 refugees have arrived in the city.[20]Many settled in Gorom, an area near the city, and have struggled from lack of humanitarian aid.
Government
editJuba is led by acity council,formed in March 2011. The council was established by GovernorClement Wani Kongawho appointed by Mohammed El Haj Baballa mayor of the council and formerYeiCounty CommissionerDavid Lokonga Moseswas appointed as deputy mayor. A ministerial committee to keep Juba clean and sanitary was also created by gubernatorial decree at the same time.[21]
InMichael Lado Allah-Jabuwas appointed mayor of the city council following the removal of Kalisto Lado by Governor ofCentral EquatoriaEmmanuel Adil Anthony.[22]Allah-Jabu was himself removed by Adil Anthony on 27 June 2023. Following his removal,Emmanuel Khamiswas appointed caretaker mayor.[23]
Prior to March 2011, the area now administered by Juba City Council was divided into Juba, Kator, and Munikipayams.It is now a standalone subdivision ofJuba County,[21]of which it is the county seat.[24]
Transportation
editThe city is a river port and the southern terminus of traffic along theNile(specifically along the Bahr-al-Ghazal portion of theWhite Nile).[25]Before the civil war, Juba was also a transport hub, with highways connecting it toKenya,Ugandaand theDemocratic Republic of the Congo.
Since the end of the war Juba has been unable to recover to its pre-war state and is no longer a significant trade city. Roads and the river harbour are no longer in use due to being in disrepair. TheUnited Nationsand theSouth Sudanese governmentare working on repairing the roads, but a full repair is expected to take many years. In 2003, theSwiss Foundation for Mine Action(FSD) started to clear the roads leading from Juba to Uganda and Kenya. It was expected that these roads would be completely de-mined and rebuilt in the course of 2006–2008.[citation needed]The rebuilding of the roads, which are mostly unpaved, takes a tremendous amount of effort and time because of the limited work season due to the lengthy rainy season, which lasts from March until October. The roads are important for the peace process in Sudan as people need them to return to their homes and to regain what they feel is a normal life. The first road that has started to be rebuilt is the road to Uganda. This road is particularly important, as many of the original inhabitants of Juba fled to Uganda during the war. As of 2009[update],there are three paved roads in Juba, one that was re-surfaced in July. The main one is a concrete road, built by the British in the 1950s.[citation needed]
Between 2008 and 2011, theUgandan governmentand theSouthern Sudanese governmentundertook joint efforts to develop a railway link between theNorthern Ugandancity ofGuluand Juba, with an extension toWau.A memorandum of understanding between the two governments was signed to that effect in August 2008.[26]The same memorandum outlined plans to develop the road network between the two countries. Recent media reports from the region suggest that the railway link from Juba may link directly with Kenya, bypassing Uganda.[27] Juba International Airport(IATA:JUB,ICAO:HJJJ) is the site of large numbers of flights bringing UN andnon-governmental organization(NGO) aid intoSouth Sudan,as well as passengers and general air freight. The construction of a new terminal was begun in late 2007 when the oil prices were very high ($100+). Since then – with the oil prices going back down – the fate of the new terminal is uncertain. Building on the new terminal restarted in early 2014.[citation needed]As of February 2014, there are daily flights toJomo Kenyatta International AirportinNairobi,Kenya;Khartoum International Airportin Sudan;Entebbe International AirportinEntebbe,Uganda;andBole International AirportinAddis Ababa,Ethiopia. TheUnited Nations Mission in South Sudan(UNMISS) has a large compound near the Juba Airport.
Demography
editIn 2005, Juba's population was 163,442. Based on analysis of aerial photos, the best estimate of several donors working in Juba calculated the 2006 population at approximately 250,000. The 5th Sudan Population and Housing Census took place in April/May 2008, stating the population ofJuba Countyto be 372,413 (the majority residing in Juba City, which dominates thecounty), but the results were rejected by theAutonomous Government of Southern Sudan.[28]Juba is developing very rapidly due to oil money and the Chinese coming for work and development.[citation needed]In 2011, the population of the city of Juba is estimated at 372,410, but may potentially be more.[29]As of 2013[update],the city's population was growing at a rate of 4.23%.[30]The Juba City Council's CEO, Martin Simon Wani, has claimed the population exceeds one million with up to a million more living in surrounding suburbs.[31]Suburbs adjacent to Juba have become increasingly dense as people from the countryside move into the city for economic opportunities.[32][33]

Economy
editJuba has been described as undergoing an economic boom, especially in the past five years and since independence.[citation needed]The prospect of an economic boom has brought thousands of merchants to Juba, mostly from northern Sudan and fromEast Africa.As of October 2010[update],several regional and international businesses have established a presence in Juba. TheCommercial Bank of Ethiopiaand the Kenyan banking conglomerateKenya Commercial Bankhas its South Sudanese headquarters in the city and a branch network of eleven branches throughout South Sudan.[35]The three indigenous South Sudanese commercial banks namely;Buffalo Commercial Bank,Ivory BankandNile Commercial Bank,all maintain their headquarters in Juba.Equity Bank,another regional finance services provider also has a branch in Juba.National Insurance Corporation(NIC), the leading Ugandan insurance services provider, maintains an office in the city.[36]Despite recent economic difficulties brought about by the15 December 2013 civil war,Juba has continued to grow and construction is still booming. This is probably due to the high demand for affordable housing and hotel accommodations. Research from theOverseas Development Institutefound that markets in Juba are transient, as many traders only come to make a quick profit and so do not invest in storage facilities or shops.[37][38]
