'''Union of Democratic Forces for Unity''' ({{langx|fr|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.

On April 13, 2007, a peace agreement between the government and the UFDR was signed in [[Birao]]. The agreement provides for an amnesty for the UFDR, its recognition as a political party, and the eventual integration of its fighters into the army.<ref name=Sign>[https://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2007-04-13-central-africa_N.htm "Central African Republic, rebels sign peace deal"], Associated Press (''USA Today''), April 13, 2007.</ref>
