The United Democratic Forces of Rwanda (French: Forces Democratiques Unifiées, FDU-INKINGI) is a political alliance in Rwanda.

History

The party was established on 29 April 2006 as an alliance of the Republican Rally for Democracy in Rwanda (RDR), Action for Impartial International Justice in Rwanda, the Democratic Forces for Resistance and the Rwandan Democratic Alliance , with RDR leader Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza elected President of the UDF.

Having been formed in exile, the alliance's leadership returned to Rwanda in January 2010 and applied to be registered in order to field candidates in the presidential elections later in the year. However, the alliance was prevented from registering and Ingabire was arrested.
