About Malakal, South Sudan
Malakal is the capital of Upper Nile State in South Sudan, located on the east bank of the White Nile River, about 650 kilometers from the capital, Juba. As an important river port city in South Sudan, it was once an oil industry hub, connecting oil-producing regions such as Bentiu. The city has a population of about 150,000 (2014 estimate), and is predominantly Dinka, with residents mostly engaged in fishing, agriculture, and trade.
Geographic and economic characteristics
Malakal is situated on a swampy plain and often faces the threat of flooding during the rainy season. The economy was once dependent on oil transportation, but the civil war (2013-2020) led to the closure of oil fields and destruction of infrastructure. Currently subsisting on local markets, Nile fishing and small-scale agriculture, the rebuilt port is a key node for transportation of goods.
History and current situation
The city was a strategic location during the Sudanese civil war and became the disputed site of the interim capital after the independence of South Sudan in 2011. Affected by the conflict in recent years, it has suffered from a severe humanitarian crisis and is dependent on the United Nations and aid organizations for support. As the peace process advances, Malakal is gradually regaining its function as a regional trade center.
