Munzir is hunched over in a chair when we get to the office of a displacement camp for the undocumented in Sudan's capital. He looks defeated and sullen. His leg is wrapped in gauze and his crutches are leaning against the wall by the side of the chair. Two months ago, a stray bullet hit his leg in army-held territory in Omdurman and he was taken to the largest remaining functioning hospital in the area, Al Nao Hospital.

From the crowded northwestern market spilling over with returnees, vendors and soldiers, to the barren stalls of central Omdurman still devastated by brutal battles, people here are praying for news of a military victory after almost two years of war.
