MORE INFO
Juba is South Sudan’s capital and the country’s principal center for government, aid agencies, diplomacy, business, aviation, and logistics. The city’s foreign community is largely organization-backed and operates within strict security protocols. Ongoing instability, violent crime, weak healthcare, poor roads, high prices, unreliable power, and limited internet make independent living extremely difficult. Juba should be treated as a high-risk operational destination rather than a remote-work base. Any stay requires trusted transport, secure compounds, emergency planning, and employer or institutional support.
