Why is Canada fuelling genocide in Sudan?
it would seem that Mark Carney has some ‘splaining to do
Fun Fact: Canada has had an arms embargo against Sudan in place for 21 years. Yes, that’s since 2004.
From Section 3 of SOR/2004-197:
It is prohibited for any person in Canada or any Canadian outside Canada to knowingly
(a) export, sell, supply or transfer, directly or indirectly, arms and related material, wherever situated, to Sudan or to any person in Sudan; or
(b) provide, directly or indirectly, technical assistance or financial assistance related to the sale, supply, transfer, manufacture, maintenance or use of arms and related material to Sudan or to any person in Sudan.
Shouldn’t it alarm the government that Canadian-made weapons have made their way to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan? Shouldn’t this grab the attention of the shirt-tearing progressives who, just a little while back, seemed to be really concerned about supposed genocide on Israel and Canada’s supposed arms exports to Israel. I distinctly remember the Pallywood cult disrupting Canadians’ lives at Scotiabank and other places in an effort to “stop the genocide.”
Where are these insufferable hystericals at now? Crickets, we hear crickets. Weird … it’s almost as though the progressive wokifada only ever wanted to take the opportunity to delegitimise Israel and hate on anything Jewish. And if they can punish Canadians in the process, that’s a bonus for them.
It would seem Canada has no serious interest in actually stopping the flow of arms to Sudan. Do Black Lives Matter? I’m asking for a friend.
Who are the RSF?
They’re a genocidal paramilitary force operating in Sudan, they formed in the early 2000s, they exert considerable influence over Sudanese politics, they maintain a social media presence in order to shape narratives, and they receive funding from gold smuggling, and from foreign backers such as the UAE and Russia’s Wagner Group ( up to 2024).
What’s Canada’s Connection?
According to Global Affairs Canada, in 2023, Canada exported $13 million in military goods and technology to the UAE. Some of those military exports have shown up in Darfur, where the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have committed mass murder of all non Arab indigenous populations. The RSF has taken control of El-Fasher, storming hospitals and the Red Cross Society of Sudan offices, wounding and killing medical staff and the hospital patients, including children. Women fleeing El Fasher report mass rape and murder, and many women have reported their children have gone missing. The UN Women describe a scenario where “women’s bodies have been turned into crime scenes.”
In recent years Canada has boasted about forging strong ties with the UAE, signing a memorandum of understanding in 2022, “…establish[ing] the first formal framework to deepen bilateral ties and expand collaboration in areas such as trade and investment, defence and security, and agriculture and energy.”
Why would the Liberal government hitch its wagon to a country known to back a genocidal paramilitary force guilty of human rights atrocities in Sudan?
French CBC recently reported that the RSF fighters are using Canadian-made rifles to commit mass murder. It appears that social media images show RSF fighters holding arms bearing the logo of Abbotsford, B.C.-based Sterling Cross Defense Systems. The Sterling Cross Defense Systems website has a very basic look. The company began as an arms broker, according to the CBC.
“I can assure you that Sterling Cross’ policies align with that of Global Affairs Canada,” Aimee Byrne, Sterling Cross’s director of operations, said in a statement, adding the company is subject to the Export and Import Permits Act. — from the CBC report of November 7th
In August the Globe and Mail reported that armoured vehicles produced by Canadian firm Streit Group and outfitted with machine guns have been pictured carrying RSF fighters in Sudan. Amnesty International reported that “numerous other types of Emirati APCs have been seen in videos in Sudan including … in April 2024, a video that the SAF claims to have shot in Mellit, North Darfur, shows several types of APCs allegedly seized from the RSF, including Streit Gladiator & Cougar APCs.”
The Streit Group has a factory in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, and in 2016 the CBC reported on its sale of APCs in South Sudan. According to the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, Canada didn’t take action, claiming it has no jurisdiction over arms trades between other countries.
“the UN Security Council said in a report that the transfer was a violation of the arms embargo because no one notified the sanctions committee in advance.
The Canadian government didn’t pursue punitive measures, citing a lack of jurisdiction because it was not responsible for arms shipments between two foreign governments, even if there is a connection to Canada.”
Because Streit Group produces the APCs in UAE, they’re apparently considered Emirati goods. Streit Group CEO Guerman Goutorov is a Canadian citizen living in Dubai. The company had an office in Ontario, and it looks like they’ve shut that down, though it’s difficult to tell, they have a LinkedIn based in Ontario and a Facebook page also listing Ontario as their Canadian office base.

“Armoured vehicles from a Canadian-owned company have been deployed in the arsenal of a Sudanese paramilitary force that stands accused of genocide, according to new photos and videos from the war-ravaged country.
The images show the armoured vehicles in war zones in Sudan, including the Darfur region, where they were carrying fighters of the Rapid Support Forces, a powerful militia that is widely reported to have committed massacres and other atrocities in Darfur and elsewhere in Sudan.
Independent arms experts have identified the vehicles as models manufactured by Streit Group, whose founder and chairman is Canadian businessman Guerman Goutorov. The company’s main factory is in the United Arab Emirates, the Middle Eastern country that is allegedly the biggest weapons supplier to the RSF.” —Geoffrey York, Globe and Mail, August 26, 2025
I’m gonna repeat the question, reader. Do Black Lives Matter? Or was all that fuss a few years back about George Floyd and black lives just a progressive act of hysteria?
Reader, let’s talk about Sudan.
The BBC reports a death toll of 150,000 people since the Sudanese civil war began in April of 2023. In October The UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces captured El-Fasher in North Darfur. According to the Humanitarian Research Lab at Yale School of Public Health (HRL), evidence of the RSF mass killings show up on satellite imagery.

Satellite Imagery Findings
Mass killings at former Children’s Hospital at El-Fasher
The the RSF has occupied the site of the Children’s Hospital for more than a year. Imagery from October 27th shows that consistent with groups of people gathered in an area stretching “from the building to the gate of the compound.” The next day’s imagery shows a larger group of darker objects consistent with bodies of many murdered victims, located in the area near the compound entrance.
Apparent mass killings at Saudi Hospital
HRL findings corroborate reports of RSF-perpetrated mass killings at the Saudi Hospital in El-Fasher. Per Mohanad on X: Reports emerging that RSF militiamen have entered the Saudi teaching hospital in Al Fashir and killed all the sick and wounded. Per Sudan Doctors Network on X, RSF kidnapped 4 pharmacists, a doctor, and a nurse and demand a ransom. The RSF extorted 100 million from the families of their captives in exchange for their release.
Systematic mass killings of people along the Berm
The HRL found “evidence consistent with mass killings outside El-Fasher along the berm.”
Evidence of mass killings at Red Crescent Society of Sudan office, El-Fasher
“RSF gunmen stormed the RCS Office and forced the medical staff to board combat vehicles and transported them to an unknown location.”
Dated October 28, 2025, the HRL report details the findings of their capture and analysis of open source and remote sensing data. Their findings corroborate the reports of mass killings perpetrated by the RSF in El-Fasher.
Recently Evan Dyer wrote a piece in the CBC about Carney and his UAE bruhs having to face scrutiny about their involvement in the RSF atrocities perpetrated in Sudan. Let’s see what the highly overrated Carney had to say for himself with respect to Canadian weapons in the hands of the RSF.
