Union of Democratic Forces for Unity (French: Union des Forces Démocratiques pour le Rassemblement, UFDR) was a rebel group which fought against the government in the 2004–2007 civil war in that country, known as the Central African Republic Bush War. The Central African Republic has accused the government of Sudan of backing the UFDR.
