The government of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has signed a memorandum of understanding expanding military cooperation with the United Arab Emirates. The move is drawing criticism because the UAE is widely accused of arming and backing the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group, implicated in mass killings in Sudan. Critics argue Ottawa is deepening ties with a government linked to atrocities, while supporters point to broader trade and security interests with Abu Dhabi.

Why now: The signing contradicts criticism of the UAE's alleged role in atrocities in Sudan, prompting debate over Canada's foreign policy.
