🇸🇩 🇦🇪 Hillary Clinton and UAE Minister of State Noura Al Kaabi took the stage together at a Forbes women's leadership summit in New York last week, in a conversation moderated by Clinton's longtime aide Huma Abedin. The event celebrated Emirati women's leadership as the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) wage a campaign of mass rape and genocide in Sudan. The Forbes 30/50 Summit is chaired by MS NOW host Mika Brzezinski, with Experience Abu Dhabi, the emirate's state tourism arm, as host partner. Sudan did not come up at all in the half hour long conversation. Instead, Al Kaabi described the UAE as a victim of "a war that we didn't choose," referring to the US-Israeli war on Iran, then said life at home is "wonderful," adding, "We're back to business” as she promoted December's opening of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. She also warned that "extremism starts with hate speeches... with people starting to separate colors, religions, backgrounds." The UAE’s RSF militia has targeted non-Arab communities in Darfur by ethnicity in mass ethnic cleansing massacres. Clinton praised the UAE for holding its society together, and Brzezinski closed by calling the pair "two of the most accomplished women in the world." Monday marks one year since the RSF overran El Fasher in North Darfur, slaughtering civilians in the streets, in hospitals and as they fled. The UN documented at least 6,000 killed in the first three days and found "hallmarks of genocide." Academics put the toll at more than 60,000 in three weeks, and leading researchers estimate as many as 150,000 residents killed and unaccounted for. UN investigators found RSF commanders ordered rape and killings, and UN experts have extensively documented the UAE of arming and funding the RSF. Clinton said the U.S. must stop "putting our personal financial interests first" and pick leaders "with integrity." Days after the summit, the UAE nominated its envoy to the UN, Lana Nusseibeh, for UN Secretary-General.
