Fact-check: This photo shows a car bombing scene in Kabul, Afghanistan, not a fire outbreak in Juba
By 211 Check Desk
Introduction:
A photo shared on Facebook by South Sudan Eye, a page that parades as a personal blog with over 48,000 followers claimed that there was a fire outbreak in Juba last night.
In fact, the picture shows the scene of a car bombing outside a Defense Ministry building in Kabul, Afghanistan in July 2019.
“Juba on fire 🔥,” reads the Facebook post by South Sudan Eye on March 28, 2022 shared more than 5 times with over 290 interactions and 140 comments.
Juba is the capital city of South Sudan in Central Equatoria State.
The posts circulated after a State of Nation Address on Monday afternoon, in which President Salva Kiir Mayardit assured Juba residents of guaranteed security.
There were fears following deployment of security organs across the city that day.
However, the photo shared by South Sudan Eye on its Facebook page was not taken in Juba yesterday.
Findings:
A reverse image search on Google traced the photo to several news articles from July, 2019 including those by CNN and the New York Times.
One of the articles is headlined “Kabul blast kills 6, injures 105 people”, referring to the incident from which the photo was taken.
Conclusion:
The photo shared on Facebook claiming that there was a fire outbreak in Juba last night is FALSE. The photo shows the scene of an incident in Kabul, Afghanistan in July 2019.
