continued……… "The idea that [Nusaiba] acts as UN Secretary-General is one of the most dangerous threats to the global multilateral system and international law," argued veteran Sudanese feminist Hela Al-Karib. In 2023, the United Arab Emirates-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a notorious mass-rape militia that the UN has accused of maligning, waged war against the Sudanese state. While Nusayeva led the UAE delegation to the UN, she reportedly "kept Sudan off the agenda" and used her influence to shut Sudan out of meetings on Sudan. "Lana was the UAE's chief diplomat denying [UAE support for the RSF] and defending the regime," claimed former US diplomat Cameron Hudson, who described her nomination as "an insult to 50 million Sudanese". Mark Leon Goldberg, editor-in-chief of the UN Mission, questioned how the UN could maintain its integrity, asking: "Does it side with the UN experts who reported on the UAE's links to the genocide [RSF], or does it continue to tow the UAE line and deny it (all the evidence to the contrary)?" The Guardian's columnist, Nasreen Malik, warned that Nusayeva's election would betray the victims of the UAE. "The appointment of a representative who is widely seen as one of the authors of the Sudanese tragedy to such a prestigious position is a new chapter, a chapter in which a criminal is [crowned]. "Nosyeva's appointment can only be guaranteed by stepping on the dead and turning one's back on life," she wrote.
