## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, the SAF capture of Sawdiri and surrounding advances will prompt new checkpoints, road closures, and RSF ambush risks that impede humanitarian movements between Khartoum and western Sudan. Civilians will face heightened danger attempting to flee shifting frontlines, with some communities effectively cut off from food and medical supplies. Aid agencies will delay or reroute convoys, reducing delivery frequency and inflating logistics costs. Confirmation would be NGO security advisories suspending travel on key routes and reports of stranded or newly displaced populations; disconfirmation would require a rapid, coordinated security arrangement explicitly protecting humanitarian corridors.

## Drivers

- Multiple alerts on SAF seizing Sawdiri and advancing along central corridors
- AFRICOM noting road closures and conflict-driven access constraints
- Past patterns of front shifts producing civilian entrapment and convoy attacks
