Jabra, Khartoum

On 2 July 2015, a significant number of women in Khartoum took action by blocking Jabra's main street, which connected the southern and eastern neighbourhoods of the city. They were protesting the continuous disruption of drinking water supply to their homes, which had been ongoing for five consecutive days. During the protest, the women voiced their grievances against the government and demanded immediate water provision. Witnesses reported that the demonstrators used concrete blocks to obstruct the main street, causing an hour-long disruption in traffic. Subsequently, the police intervened and dispersed the women's demonstrations.{{Cite web |last=Dabanga |date=2015-07-02 |title=أزمة مياه الشرب تقود الى احتجاجات نسائية في جبرة بالخرطوم |url=https://www.dabangasudan.org/ar/all-news/article/%d8%a3%d8%b2%d9%85%d8%a9-%d9%85%d9%8a%d8%a7%d9%87-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b4%d8%b1%d8%a8-%d8%aa%d9%82%d9%88%d8%af-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%89-%d8%a7%d8%ad%d8%aa%d8%ac%d8%a7%d8%ac%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d9%86%d8%b3%d8%a7%d8%a6 |access-date=2023-07-31 |website=Dabanga Radio TV Online |language=ar}}

On 28 December 2021, a raid conducted by Sudanese intelligence officers on an ISIS cell in the Jabra neighbourhood, resulted in the death of five officers and the injury of one. The security operation also led to the arrest of 11 terrorists of various nationalities. During the raid, the terrorist group opened fire on the security forces, resulting in casualties among the officers. Four foreign terrorists managed to escape and are currently being pursued. This marks the first time that Sudanese authorities have announced the seizure of an ISIS cell in the country. Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok praised the fallen officers as heroes who were combating extremist terrorist activities to secure and stabilize the country.{{Cite web |title=السودان.. مقتل 5 من ضباط المخابرات خلال "مداهمة بالخرطوم" {{!}} الحرة |url=https://www.alhurra.com/sudan/2021/09/28/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%88%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86-%D9%85%D9%82%D8%AA%D9%84-5-%D8%B6%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B7-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AE%D8%A7%D8%A8%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%AE%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%84-%D9%85%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%87%D9%85%D8%A9-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D8%B1%D8%B7%D9%88%D9%85 |access-date=2023-07-31 |website=www.alhurra.com |language=ar}}{{Cite web |last= |date=2021-10-05 |title=السودان: اشتباكات مسلحة مع جهاديين في منطقة جبرة بجنوب الخرطوم |url=https://www.france24.com/ar/%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%88/20211005-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%88%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%A7%D8%B4%D8%AA%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%83%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D9%85%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%A9-%D9%85%D8%B9-%D8%AC%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%8A%D9%86-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D9%85%D9%86%D8%B7%D9%82%D8%A9-%D8%AC%D8%A8%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D8%A8%D8%AC%D9%86%D9%88%D8%A8-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D8%B1%D8%B7%D9%88%D9%85 |access-date=2023-07-31 |website=فرانس 24 / France 24 |language=ar}}{{Cite web |date=2021-10-05 |title=داعش في الخرطوم.. حرب شوارع تشهدها أحياء جبرة |url=https://www.assayha.net/80051/ |access-date=2023-07-31 |website=صحيفة الصيحة |language=ar}}
