The latest country in South Sultan: below the international poverty line of life

In the south of Sultan City -- the Juba, begin from July 9, 2011, it became the whole world place. It became our earth's new a country -- south of the capital of the Republic of Sultan. Before I came to Juba, almost no information on the juba. Imagine, Juba is certainly a closed, backward, primitive desert oasis, a war-torn place. Therefore, I do a good job in the ideological preparation. After reaching the Juba, surprise, the real Jubaby imagined the closed, backward and primitive. Now I would like to use my camera and a pen to record some of southern Sultan's impression.

Southern Sultan children

Sultan in the north and the south one divides into two., has formed two countries after the cold war, it is also a disintegration of the country.

"Sultan" in the name comes from the Arabic, meaning "black land (people)". However, the disintegration of Sultan, as well as other contemporary was the disintegration of the country, is to become one of the current national democratization after. Juba as the world's most young country in South Sultan's capital. If not the Nile water to nourish, Juba is located in the hinterland of Africa desolate town, may be just an ordinary primitive village. In Juba, the population of nearly 400000 people in the city, it is difficult to tell where is the downtown, where is the suburban. If you find a place with thatched huts, and is similar to Chinese rural markets nearby, then you have come to Juba's downtown area. The not far from this area, also is the large tracts of wasteland and dusty road.

Juba town only near the presidential palace to see the asphalt road

Juba town only near the presidential palace to see the asphalt road, said the southern Sultan only 60 kilometers of asphalt road, and is the second half of 2010 after the completion of laying. The road is far from Juba and other city effectively connected, many areas during the rainy season of road traffic was completely interrupted. Main street in downtown, and speeding cars will be on the road of bare sand rolling up, rolling in the dust in automobile exhaust thick, up to the side of the Road shop dispersion. The local people seem to already be accustomed to this. A group of local people sitting on the roadside barbecue booth, a table for seven or eight people, drinking coke, beer, enjoy a large roast chicken.

Rarely seen in more than 2 layers of cement building in Juba area. Whether I live in Juba Hotel, or the last southern Sultan autonomous government office, are temporary buildings filled with iron and foam. Most of the residents living in the local traditional thatched house. This house is generally as a circular wall with the unique local mud bricks, then a bundled up in the thatched roof above for. Local people said that this seemingly simple construction, ventilation, is suitable for the hot weather here. Indeed, the highest temperature of Juba day up to 38 degrees Celsius, in the sun sweating slightly station soon, exposed skin is burning ache.
