In 2011, after achieving its independence and recognition as the Republic of South Sudan, the first stamps were issued in the same year, under the insignia of a Southern Sudanese Pound (SSP).  As time went by, new stamps were created and designed, as well as the cost of each one. Later, South Sudan began to add other postal services to its business structure. These began to send letters, small packages, and parcels throughout the country and also to the different UPU member countries. However, due to the aggressive inflation that was attacking the country, it was forced to make an increase in its postal rates in 2016. A couple of years later, the economic situation of the country started to improve progressively, and the rates of the different services offered by South Sudan Post started to be more accessible. Today, SSJUBA has become the leading provider of postal services within the Republic of South Sudan, ensuring that all its services are delivered in an efficient and reliable manner.
