[Dabanga] Kampala -- As Sudan's war nears its fourth year, the country faces a more dangerous phase, with no prospect of military victory or political settlement. Fighting has entrenched in Kordofan, while millions endure hunger, displacement, and collapsing services. Political and humanitarian analyst Ahmed Kadwa warned that Sudan stands at "a real and dangerous crossroads", as the war increasingly focuses on consolidating areas of influence rather than achieving decisive victory.
