Historical Record
By 2003, competing authorities claim the right to define peace. Encampments harden; supply lines matter more than speeches; and the map of the city becomes a ledger of who controls which bridge, clinic, or well. Skirmishes break into the open and then back into shadows as both sides search for advantage without losing the future. Civilians adapt: markets relocate, schools improvise, and families memorize new routes that avoid unnecessary checkpoints.
The battle’s importance is practical rather than theatrical. It teaches that victory without food, water, and medicine is only a pause. When ceasefires appear, they are negotiated in the language of logistics—timetable, corridor, guarantee—because people must eat before they can agree. The year records less a single clash than a lesson in how communities survive prolonged pressure.
