Sudanese Diaspora, Rights Groups Denounce UAE Nominee for UN Top Job

The Guardian · world

Sudanese diaspora and human rights groups have voiced strong opposition to the UAE's nomination of Lana Nusseibeh for a top UN position. Critics cite her repeated denials of accusations that the UAE is fueling the war in Sudan by supporting the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Human rights organizations have documented evidence of UAE support for the RSF, which faces accusations of atrocities. Activists argue that endorsing Nusseibeh would undermine justice and accountability for victims and erode faith in the UN's ability to deliver justice.
