I’ve found many similarities with the Tanzanian streets where I have lived for 15 years.
A lady starts her business, a food stall, in the morning, at the foot of an abandoned building.
South Sudanese men wear their suits the proper size, not 3 sizes too big.
Car accessories.
Those death traps have arrived en masse in this country too.
Some main streets in Juba and their attractive road businesses.
Ok to be honest a few roads are tarmacked. Here is a Japanese peace keeper vehicle. The Japanese group here is for instance rebuilding the airport. But if need be they seem to have a defensive mission, providing they received a timely authorization from New York UN headquarters that is. In any case, like other nationalities of Blue Helmets I’ve seen, they don’t relax too much, weapons and other gear are never too far. Well look at this vehicle, the alertness of the soldier on top…and that is just to cross Juba, quite peaceful nowadays.
