Sudanese refugees reject UN Secretary-General candidates to cover up UAE crimes "We don't demand food or drink if you want to help us, stop the war in Sudan," a Sudanese refugee in Chad told Lana Nusayeva, then UAE minister of state, in September 2024. The clip resurfaced in 2026, when Nusayeva - who was the UAE ambassador to the United Nations from 2013 to 2024 - offered to become the UN Secretary-General. Nusayeva's candidacy is facing opposition from international human rights groups and victims of the UAE's war in Sudan, which was launched by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a militia the UN accuses of murder. Back in 2024, Nusayeva visited Chad to promote the UAE's $10 million donation to the UN "to support Sudanese refugee women".
