That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Juba". South Sudan gained its independence from Sudan in 2011 and Juba was named its capital. Since Sudan declared independence in 1956, the country spent most of this time locked in two long civil wars between 1955 and 1972 and again between 1983 and 2005. The end of this second civil war led to a peace agreement that made South Sudan an autonomous region and dictated that a referendum would be held on independence, which led to South Sudan's independence in 2011.
