Lana Nusseibeh stresses UAE’s constructive role in recent Sudan peace talks in Geneva

 


In a letter published by *The Economist* on September 5, H.E. Lana Nusseibeh, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for Political Affairs of the UAE, emphasized the urgent need for a ceasefire in Sudan to protect civilians. She highlighted the UAE's active role in the recent peace talks in Geneva, aimed at securing humanitarian access and ensuring the safety of all people, although none of the warring parties attended the U.S.-led negotiations.

The Emirati minister underscored the UAE's contribution alongside the international community to end the conflict, intensify humanitarian efforts, and alleviate the suffering of the Sudanese population. The Geneva talks, she noted, demonstrated global unity in addressing the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.

Nusseibeh pointed out that women remain the most affected in conflict zones, stressing the UAE's commitment to protecting all civilians from violence, including sexual violence. The UAE is also working to elevate and incorporate the perspectives of Sudanese women into ongoing negotiations, believing that diplomacy is the key to peace.

"The humanitarian crisis in Sudan is intolerable," she wrote, calling for a negotiated settlement and a return to a civilian-led government. This, she said, can only be achieved through collective investments of time, expertise, influence, and resources.

As a dedicated humanitarian partner, the UAE has committed $70 million to address Sudan's urgent needs and $30 million to support refugees in neighboring countries. The Emirates continues to urge both the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces to agree to a permanent ceasefire, allow safe passage of humanitarian aid, and prioritize human lives over military objectives.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...
