EXPERIENCE

Juba is the capital and largest city of South Sudan. The city is situated on the White Nile and also serves as the capital of the Central Equatoria State. It is the world’s newest growing capital city. English and Arabic is commonly spoken in Juba and some pockets of Swahili.
It was established in 1920 21 by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) in a small Bari village, also called Juba. It is a commercial center for agricultural products produced in the surrounding area. It is also a highway hub, with roads radiating into Uganda, Kenya, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It has an international airport, several banks branches and many three- and four-star hotels.
The name Juba came from dances in Africa (where it was called Giouba) and Haiti (known as Djouba). Another name for the dance is Hambone. This name, which also has origins in slavery, supposedly originated from hand-bone, the hard part of the hand that makes the most sound
So instead of using drums, the enslaved people used their bodies to make music to accompany their singing and dancing. This American musical tradition became known as patting Juba, and it was the main accompaniment to the American folk dance known as Juba dance.
Being the world newest capital city have come with a very rapid growth in every sector.
