Yes if - There's a major military intervention that will tip the scales of the war on one side, per adventure either sides recieves heavy funding and military troops from on the scale of a 1000 ground troops or say heavy ammunitions and manpower or third party military intervention that raises the death toll to a cosidereable amount - convesely the conflict between both parties could escalate if the death tolls crosses a certain threshold before 31st of january say about 100,000 individuals.
