Juba, the capital city of the semi-autonomous region and a territory belonging to the indigenous Bari tribe is hit by sexual workers and growing adultery by married women, most of whom have been flowing into Juba from the neighboring countries of East Africa such as Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Tanzania.
These sexual trade workers are mostly foreigners while others are Southern Sudanese girls and ladies as well as northern Sudanese ladies who decided to move to the South and access sexual freedom away from the Islamic law prohibiting sex in the north.
Such Sudanese girls who involve in commercial sexual intercourse are those girls who have adopted East African cultures and Arab girls who escaped Islamic law in Khartoum and flew to stay in Juba leaving behind their families. Sudan Tribune had conducted interviews with some of such prostitutes who told about their sexual life in Southern Sudan, which they said was centered on making money rather than love.
Ugandan woman, Ms. Lora William, confirmed that she came to Juba to get wealth through prostitution. Only relatives working in government would get you everything you would like to achieve in the Government of Southern Sudan GoSS system. Few of my friends are working in government offices as employees as well as few of them are private secretaries," she revealed. I was deceived by my classmate and after he knew that I was pregnant, the guy disowned me immediately and my parents dismissed me from family house.
I have nowhere to go then I decided to go to Sudan. As I just reached to Aru [Ugandan town close to Sudan border], I got a tall Sudanese man who loved me at a lodge and I started to have sex with him that night. On my way to Juba, he told the migration office that this is my wife and I was allowed to enter into Sudan through his approach to Sudanese migration authority," the Ugandan lady narrated.
