What is the full form of FUCFUC: Front Uni Pour Le ChangementFUC stands for Front uni pour le changement. The United Front for Democratic Change (UFDC), often referred to as the FUC in French was a rebel organization that aimed to remove Idriss Deby from power. It was formed on December 26 and 28, 2005, in the Modeina region of eastern Chad, by eight rebel organizations. The FUC was controlled by Mahamat Nour Abdelkerim who was a former commander of the rebel organization Rally for Democracy and Liberty. On December 18, 2005, the RDL was one of two rebel groups that attacked Adre, the capital of Chad. However, the Chadian military was able to retain the city, and Sudan was accused of supporting the rebels by the Chadian government. The president of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir, denied this allegation. The Chad-Sudan Conflict began on December 23, 2005, when Chad replied by proclaiming a "state of belligerence" with Sudan. The conflict finally resulted in the Tripoli Agreement, a peace deal between Sudan and Chad. Abdullahi Abdel Karim stated that the rebels belonging to the Rally for Democracy and Liberty (RDL) claimed that every unit they belonged to had its men and weapons. They decided to work together. On January 19, 2006, the Sudanese authorities arrested Abdelwahit About together with twenty other F.U.C. rebels. Abdelwahit About had claimed to be in Khartoum and that the F.U.C. maintained friendly relations with the Sudanese government during a radio interview. On April 12, 2006, United Front rebels moved 1000 kilometers from their strongholds near the Sudanese border to the capital city of N'Djamena, Chad. They attacked the city before morning, but the Chadian army managed to keep it, according to a report dated April 13.

Rebel Groups in the FUCThe United Front for Democratic Change, or FUC, was formed by eight rebel groups, each with a unique commander and purpose.
These groups, which merged under the FUC banner to pursue their common goals, were significant in their era even if they are now gone. 2006 Peace AccordPresident Idriss Deby Itno and rebel leader Mahamat Nour Abdelkerim signed a peace agreement on December 24, 2006, bringing an end to the fighting between the Chadian government and the United Front for Democratic Change (FUC). Part of the deal was a schedule for the next three months to incorporate most of Abdelkerim's units into the national army. However, some rebel groups stayed against the government. In March 2007, Abdelkerim became a member of the government as the Minister of Defense. A significant altercation between government forces and certain FUC factions occurred in Goz-Beïda on October 18, 2007. This happened because certain FUC members refused to sign up for the armed forces and gave up their weapons as required by the conditions of the peace deal. Abdulkarim tried to incorporate these rebel groups into the army. Child SoldiersIn May 2007, there were rumors that the rebel group had over a thousand young fighters. Discussions were going on with the Chadian administration to assist these young troops in ending their combat duty and returning to normal life.
