Sudanese diaspora and human rights groups denounce UAE nominee for UN top job

Sudanese diaspora organisations and human‑rights advocates have condemned the United Arab Emirates’ nomination of Lana Nusseibeh for the United Nations secretary‑general post. They argue she has dismissed allegations that the UAE is backing the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group involved in Sudan’s war, and claim the appointment overlooks the Emirates’ alleged role in fueling the conflict.
