South Sudan's economy, heavily dependent on oil exports via Sudan, faces disruptions due to ongoing conflict in Sudan. Teachers, like many state employees, haven't been paid for a year, leading to widespread financial struggles. Over a million Sudanese refugees are in border towns with limited resources. Local traders face difficulties securing fuel and supplies. Despite the economic crisis, some in Juba continue to thrive. Inflation has soared, but oil production has resumed, bringing hope for economic relief.
