Middle Juba falls on the south west of Somalia, The region border lower Juba, Gedo, Bay and lower Shabelle. The region consists of four districts namely: 1. Bu'aale (The regional Capital) 2. Jilib 3. Sakow (is the larges district in the region) 4. Salagle DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMUNITY The community living in these region is predominantly Agro-pastoralist who mainly depend on rain fed crop and livestock production. The main crops are 'Maize, cowpea, and Sesame which are planted both 'Gu and Deyr' seasons these region also famous in livestock rearing especially cattle and shoats, but due to prolonged dry spells and intense conflicts, the economical situation of these communities has drastically deteriorated. Consequently many shocks such as, the ban of livestock in Garissa market and the recurrent closure of Kenya Somalia border (Which is the main market route) has grounded their hopes. Therefore Middle Juba has the largest farmland on both side of Juba River .those community living for that area most of them they produce a different products from local farmer, most of riverbank area living a Somalia Bantus, those communities is a backbone of Middle/lower Juba , because they are low cheap price of labour , example if you want a build Somali house , the one who is building is one of Somalia Bantus, Wilding ,Machining, etc .
