Lana Zaki Nusseibeh, a long-serving UAE foreign affairs official, has been nominated to be new SG. She has for years denied her country’s rights abuses in Sudan & Yemen, incl. dismissing the UN’s own reports linking the UAE to the abusive RSF in Sudan @hrw hrw.org/news/2026/10/28/uae-…

Sudan displayed parts of drones, including drones of UAE origin which ARES has temporarily designated as TMID-0013 and TMID-0014, during a press conference in which they accused Ethiopia of supporting the RSF.

🚩Lana Nusseibeh has a long record of whitewashing UAE rights abuses in Sudan & Yemen:
She repeatedly denies the UAE provides military support to the RSF & defended UAE as complying w/ IHL during its intervention in Yemen, dismissing evidence of abuses 👇

🚨 New from @hrw on race for new UN chief: “For years, @Lana_Nusseibeh has used her position to vehemently deny and divert attention from the UAE’s war crimes in Yemen and support for the abusive Rapid Support Forces in Sudan,” said HRW’s @BrunoStagno.

When Marco Rubio was a candidate to be secretary of state, he admitted that the United Arab Emirates was arming the genocidal Rapid Support forces paramilitary in Sudan foreign.senate.gov/imo/media… but when UAE diplomat was being questioned as a candidate for the UN Secretary General, she wouldn't say. She ducked the question, after having previously falsely denied it. She shouldn't be the SG. youtube.com/watch?v=VWrpEszY…

"As if a tsunami hit the city"
A year ago, 6000 civilians were killed during #RSF capture of El-Fasher #Darfur.
A year on, no new sanctions on RSF leaders & #UAE backers, no action to protect civilians.
Time for #EU to step up & get serious for #Sudan.

#UnitedArabEmirates' pick for UNSG has personnaly denied at @EuroParl_EN #UAE's support to #Sudan's abusive #RSF.

@EU_EEAS @EuroParl_EN: Don't ignore that Lana Nusseibeh used her access to #EU to undermine UN's core principles.

Would she support the immediate, unredacted publication of the long-overdue report of the Panel of Experts on Sudan, which contains a section on UAE support to the RSF?
Full text of UN Sec Gen candidate Lana Nusseibeh's response to @yonahdiamond's question about the UAE's complicity in war in Sudan

Sudan asks Lana Nusseibeh: Would you back an independent investigation of your country supplying weapons in Sudan's civil war & its mass rapes?
Doesn't answer but reiterates a commitment to Art 100 of UN Charter & that she has left UAE foreign ministry. Says to refer Qs to them
[no acknowledgment of UAE's documented role in the war & resulting humanitarian crisis]

🚨 Great question from @TheRWCHR's @yonahdiamond to former @UAEMissionToUN envoy @Lana_Nusseibeh, candidate for the post of UN secretary-general at UN General Assembly Interactive Dialogue. Unfortunately not much of an answer.
@Lana_Nusseibeh distances herself on #Sudan: "To run for this office and mindful of the obligations of independence that this office entails, I have taken a leave of absence from my post as a minister of the UAE, and I refer any questions about the UAE to the UAE representation."

Human rights monitors criticized senior UAE diplomat Lana Nusseibeh's candidacy to be the next UN chief on Tuesday, citing her role in championing the country's foreign policy and denying the UAE's role in fuelling the conflict in Sudan. reuters.com/world/middle-eas…

UAE diplomat Lana Nusseibeh is new frontrunner in race for UN's top job. But today, when a human rights group quizzed her on UAE's widely reported arms supplies to Sudan's RSF, she simply dodged the question, saying it should be answered by a UAE official.

In place @UN for UN General Assembly’s Interactive Dialogue w/ former @UAEMissionToUN top envoy @Lana_Nusseibeh. @hrw was shortlisted to ask a question but didn’t make the final cut. Here’s our question on evidence of UAE support for RSF in #Sudan & independence from governments.

“It is as if a tsunami had hit the city,” said a resident who returned to Sudan’s El Fasher only to find it destroyed and largely abandoned after the RSF's October 2025 takeover.
One year on, global actors should ensure it never happens again, take bold steps to protect civilians, and hold those responsible to account. hrw.org/news/2026/10/26/suda…
Et la France reste silencieuse face au rôle des Emirats Arabes Unis dans le conflit, y compris dans l'envoi de combattants colombiens à El Fasher par une entreprise émiratie proche des plus hauts niveaux du gouvernement émirati: blogs.mediapart.fr/hrw/blog/…
A year ago, El-Fasher, the historic capital of Darfur, was taken by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The city was the scene of mass crimes against civilian populations, targeted on an ethnic basis.
On this painful day, our heart is with the people of Sudan. France bows to the memory of the victims.
Our compassion is accompanied by a constant determination to act to break the cycle of impunity in Sudan.
Sudan: One Year on from the Cataclysm of El Fasher. “It is as if a tsunami had hit the city,” said a resident who returned to Sudan’s El Fasher only to find it destroyed and largely abandoned after the Rapid Support Forces’ (RSF) October 2025 takeover.
