'''Union of Democratic Forces for Unity''' (French:{{lang-fr|Union des Forces Démocratiques pour le Rassemblement}}, '''UFDR''') is the rebel group fighting against the government in the [[Central African Republic Civil War]]. The CAR has accused UFDR of being backed by the government of [[Sudan]].

The UFDR leader, [[Michel Detodia]], has said [[Central African Republic]] president [[François Bozizé]] has ruled on an ethnic basis since seizing power from President [[Ange-Félix Patassé]] in March [[2003]]. "Many people from other ethnic groups and different political parties are ostracised and banned from participating in the management of the country," he said.
