Country
South Sudan
South Sudan, the world’s youngest country, gained independence from Sudan in 2011 following decades of conflict and civil war. It is located in East-Central Africa, bordered by Sudan to the north, Ethiopia to the east, Kenya and Uganda to the southeast, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the southwest, and the Central African Republic to the west. The country is rich in natural resources, particularly oil, which plays a key role in its economy, although the majority of its population relies on subsistence farming.
The capital, Juba, is the largest city and the political and economic hub of South Sudan. The country is home to many ethnic groups, with the Dinka and Nuer being the largest. South Sudan has a culturally diverse society, and while English is the official language, many indigenous languages are widely spoken. The population is predominantly Christian, though traditional African religions are also practiced.
