Sudan Crisis Internationalizes as South Darfur Attack Kills 22 Civilians
IGAD Special Envoy Lawrence Korbandy stated on April 12, 2026, that the Sudanese conflict has transcended national borders and become internationalized, affecting global security and humanitarian law. The statement coincided with reports of a brutal attack in southern Darfur that killed 22 civilians. The ongoing war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces has created the world's worst displacement crisis, with over 12 million people forced from their homes.
