Members of the Sudanese diaspora and international human rights monitors have condemned the nomination of Emirati diplomat Lana Nusseibeh to become UN secretary general.
Their objections focus on her rejection of allegations that the United Arab Emirates is helping fuel Sudan’s war through support for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
The UAE put Nusseibeh forward last week to succeed António Guterres, whose second five-year term ends this year. Her nomination disrupted a succession contest that had reached an impasse.
