Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The rising insecurity in Juba, South Sudan, is a major concern for residents and a challenge for local security forces. This article examines the relationship between economic factors such as unemployment, poverty, and informal markets and the increasing insecurity in Gudele Payam, a district in Juba. Using a mixed-methods approach, including structured interviews and surveys, the research gathered community insights on how economic conditions impact safety. Data analysis revealed a significant link between economic hardships and insecurity, with 72% of participants citing unemployment as a key factor.
