    It’s absolutely insane that an entire administration now just shits the most vile, un-American bigotry out of their mouths.

    RT @ShaharzadAkbar: This article raises serious questions about the SG candidate, Lana Nusseibeh. As human rights activists and in solidarity with the Sudanese victims and survivors, we have to consider these claims about her support for RSF.

    Emirati sponsorship of Manchester City is nothing in the effort to whitewash UAE sending arms and mercenaries to the genocidal Rapid Support Forces paramilitary in Sudan compared to the appointment of lead apologist Lana Nusseibeh as UN secretary general.

    RT @AkbarSAhmed: Vital & powerful read Note too that Nusseibeh helped the US in Dec 2023 limit calls for more UNSC action on Gaza, instead setting up a plush UN gig that delivered little change. The Biden admin then overlooked the UAE role in Sudan despite officials’ awareness of its culpability

    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.

    RT @SCProcedure: This level of public mobilization against an SG candidate is unprecedented in UN history! How will it impact SC voting? Some P5 may be uninfluenced by public outcry & factual bases. But likely to weigh significantly w/E10 govts who will be remembered if recommendation goes thru.

    Those linked to these atrocities must face accountability, which is why France cannot allow the UAE’s Lana Nusseibeh to become UN Secretary-General. France should use its veto against Nusseibeh, who lied to the UN to cover up the UAE’s role in arming the RSF’s genocide in Sudan.

    Floating Orbán feels like a stalking horse from Trump and his autocratic friends meant to make the UAE’s Lana Nusseibeh look like the “compromise candidate.” Countries shouldn't be fooled into handing the UN to a top denier of the UAE’s role in arming the RSF in Sudan's genocide.

    RT @NesrineMalik: I know up is down these days but serenading the UN for a position when you undermined the same institution and rejected the UN Panel of Experts’ findings on UAE links to the RSF to run cover for your government’s calamitous role in Sudan’s war is an outrage and an insult.

    I've spent much of my life in and around the @UN. What stays with me most is its people: colleagues who, in the world's hardest places, deliver food and medicine, protect civilians and help parties take the first steps towards peace. The UN was never meant to agree with the world. It was built to help the world agree. This UN Day, I remain confident in what the United Nations can achieve - and in the future we can build when it acts early, supports its personnel, and measures success by what changes on the ground. #UNDay
