In spite of having been wracked by years of bloody civil war, South Sudan’s capital has dozens of nightclubs where people can try and forget the country’s woes with dance and drink.
Reggae, hip hop and Sudanese music are all commonly played at such venues.
It was unclear who was responsible for Monday’s shooting, but armed groups have targeted nightspots in the past.
