Juba (Arabic:جوبا) (a.k.a. "Joba") is the pseudonym of an alleged sniper involved in the Iraqi Insurgency featured in several videos. The second of these videos shows Juba claiming to have shot 37 American soldiers. Whether Juba is a real individual, a role shared among multiple individuals, or a propaganda/media creation is unknown.
Juba was allegedly murdered by Islamic State in 2013 or 2014.
Videos
Several video clips which allegedly show the actions of Juba have been circulated over the Internet.
First video
In November 2005, a video which was circulating in Iraq appeared on the Internet. The video, attributed to the Sunni insurgent group Islamic Army in Iraq, showed American soldiers being shot and falling to the ground. The video starts with a man saying, "I have nine bullets in this gun and I have a present for George Bush. I am going to kill nine Soldiers. I am doing this for the viewers to watch. God is great. God is great." With that, he makes his way from the vehicle, and a series of separate scenes follow showing several individuals shot in action.
In the 19th century, a trading post and a mission, called Gondokoro, was located in the vicinity of Juba. It was the southernmost outpost of the Egyptian garrison, supported by a handful of soldiers, mostly ill due to the malaria and blackwater fever that was dominant in the region. Gondokoro was also the base of the explorers and campaigners (Sir) Samuel and Florence Baker during their expeditions to what is now South Sudan and northern Uganda from 1863 to 1865, and from 1871 to 1873.
Juba itself was established in 1922 as a small town by a number of Greek traders which were mostly supplying the British Army at the time. Although their number never exceeded 2,000 inhabitants, together with a much larger number of the native Bari tribe with whom they had an excellent relationship, the Greeks contributed in what is today visible structures downtown Juba Market area as well as the Greek Quarters (named by the British), a small suburb which today is called Hai Jalaba. Examples of the development by the Greeks are public buildings such as the beautiful stone buildings of Ivory Bank, Notos Lounge, the old Sudan Airways Building, Paradise Hotel, Nile Commercial Bank and Buffalo Commercial Bank, among others. The building of Central Bank was also built at a later stage in the mid '40s as well as the famous Juba Hotel in the mid '30s.

Jesse Ventura Says 'American Sniper' Chris Kyle Shouldn't Be Remembered As A Hero
Former governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura dropped by Business Insider to talk about his new book, "Jesse Ventura's Marijuana Manifesto."
The former Navy SEAL is embroiled in a lawsuit he brought against the estate of deceased "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle. In his best-selling book, Kyle alleged that he physically assaulted a person he refers to in the book as "Scruff Face," after making offensive comments about the elite special-forces unit. Kyle later said that "Scruff Face" was indeed Ventura.
Ventura said the incident never occurred, and he sued Kyle for defamation. A Minnesota court ruled in Ventura's favor and awarded him $1.8 million in damages, but an appeals court threw out the verdict. Ventura now plans to seek a new trial with the US Supreme Court.

Former governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura dropped by Business Insider to talk about his new book, "Jesse Ventura's Marijuana Manifesto."
The former Navy SEAL is embroiled in a lawsuit he brought against the estate of deceased "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle. In his best-selling book, Kyle alleged that he physically assaulted a person he refers to in the book as "Scruff Face," after making offensive comments about the elite special-forces unit. Kyle later said that "Scruff Face" was indeed Ventura.
Ventura said the incident never occurred, and he sued Kyle for defamation. A Minnesota court ruled in Ventura's favor and awarded him $1.8 million in damages, but an appeals court threw out the verdict. Ventura now plans to seek a new trial with the US Supreme Court.
We asked Ventura if he thinks Kyle should be remembered as a hero.

Juba (Arabic:جوبا) (a.k.a. "Joba") is the pseudonym of an alleged sniper involved in the Iraqi Insurgency featured in several videos. The second of these videos shows Juba claiming to have shot 37 American soldiers. Whether Juba is a real individual, a role shared among multiple individuals, or a propaganda/media creation is unknown.
Juba was allegedly murdered by Islamic State in 2013 or 2014.
Videos
Several video clips which allegedly show the actions of Juba have been circulated over the Internet.
First video
In November 2005, a video which was circulating in Iraq appeared on the Internet. The video, attributed to the Sunni insurgent group Islamic Army in Iraq, showed American soldiers being shot and falling to the ground. The video starts with a man saying, "I have nine bullets in this gun and I have a present for George Bush. I am going to kill nine Soldiers. I am doing this for the viewers to watch. God is great. God is great." With that, he makes his way from the vehicle, and a series of separate scenes follow showing several individuals shot in action.
