There is a distinct lack of permanence to the structures in Juba town. Driving from the airport to our accommodation the driver was pointing out the hotels, known as camps, as we drove past.
“They’re all pre-fab,” he said knowingly.
The pre-fab, short for prefabricated material is a big part of the construction in and around Juba.
They are shipped into the country pre-made and ready to go.
Basically they are like staying in a shipping container, thin metal walls and laminate flooring – but fortunately ours comes with an air conditioner and shower so I’m not complaining.
As one UN worker mentioned to me, no one thinks much past next year.
