Juba is the capital and largest city of South Sudan, a country located in East-Central Africa. It is situated on the west bank of the Baḥr Al-Jabal (Mountain Nile) river and is approximately 87 miles south of Bor. Juba is a major commercial center for agricultural products in the region and serves as a southern terminus for river traffic in South Sudan. It also has an international airport and several branch banks. The city is home to the University of Juba, which was founded in 1975. Prior to its independence in 2011, South Sudan was part of Sudan, its northern neighbor. In 1947, Juba was the site of a conference where representatives of the northern and southern parts of Sudan agreed to unify, but this unification did not go smoothly. Juba became the spearhead of southern resistance to northern domination and was the site of much civil unrest. The civil war ended in 2005 with the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), which granted autonomy to the region of southern Sudan and Juba experienced rapid development after the signing. Juba was named the regional capital and, when the region seceded in 2011, Juba became the capital of the newly independent country of South Sudan.
