Despite its small size and population, Middle Juba is one of the most prosperous regions of Somalia: the land is fertile and good for farming, and the Juba River has all year running water, benefitting both livestock and farms. This region was one of the least populated regions in Somalia until the droughts of 1975: after the droughts, which affected northern and central parts of Somalia, large numbers of families, having lost all of their livestock, were resettled by the central government in Middle Juba, in places like Dajuma, Bu'ale, Sakow and Jilib; eventually they became farmers and thrived. It's controled by adminstrative named by RRA (Rahanwein Resistence Army).
It is named after the river Jubba that passes this region.
Middle Juba consists of three districts:
- Bu'aale (capital)
- Jilib (Gilib)
- Sakow
- Dujuma
Jillib is the most populous city and had well-developed infrastructures before the civil war destroyed them. The Marerey factory was the biggest factory in Somalia; it used to produce many products, including sugar, chemicals, rubber, and peroxides.
