Slung over the shoulder of one RSF fighter in the video is a modern-looking, bolt-action precision rifle, with a skeletonized folding stock, a handguard and a high-power scope. Then, for just a few frames as the fighter turns his back to the camera, a small emblem becomes visible on the rifle’s chassis: the Sterling Cross logo.

Quote: Sterling Cross When reached for comment, Sterling Cross would not answer specific questions about CBC’s findings in Sudan, its current international arms sale business — which would fall under the purview of Global Affairs Canada — and whether it has sold weapons to countries that are alleged to supply factions in Sudan, including the United Arab Emirates. “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. Global Affairs Canada did not respond to CBC’s request for comment in time for publication. Sterling Cross’s website is bare bones, made up of nothing more than two buttons to contact the company’s defence and logistics arms.
