Briefing by News4U · First published
The Guardian reports that Sudanese diaspora and human rights groups have denounced the UAE’s nomination of Lana Nusseibeh for UN secretary-general, citing her denial of accusations that the UAE is fuelling the war in Sudan by supporting the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Critics including Hala al-Karib, Ibrahim Alduma, Husam Mahjoub and Kenneth Roth said Nusseibeh lacks independence from the UAE and that her election would undermine UN credibility on accountability for atrocities in El Fasher.
