This produces sinking motion and fair weather, and the result is a katafront, "

inactive front. ICP, which was founded by Robert Capa's brother, Cornell Capa, provides this assessment of "The Falling Soldier":
Indeed, any new war between North and South will not be limited to this part of Sudan, but will rather set ablaze yet again all currently
inactive fronts, especially in the East, and the current front in Darfur will be rekindled.
