As logged at issue
Looking further out, it's roughly even odds Rapid Support Forces and allied SPLM-N fighters hold Geissan on a sustained basis and capture at least one more Blue Nile state town within six months, extending a campaign that has already displaced tens of thousands toward Roseires and the Ethiopian border -- unless Sudanese Armed Forces mount a successful counteroffensive in the state first.
