Sudan and rights groups oppose UAE nominee for UN secretary-general

Sudanese living abroad, human rights monitors and Sudan itself oppose Lana Nusseibeh's bid to succeed António Guterres as UN secretary-general. Critics cite alleged UAE support for the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group in Sudan's war. Nusseibeh has denied the accusations. The Security Council will choose the successor, needing nine votes and no veto.
