Platform for Change, Unity and Democracy, abbreviated as S.C.U.D., is a Chadian rebel group that was formed in October of 2005 by former members of the Military of Chad who deserted and united under their founder and current leader, 30-year old Yaya Dillo Djérou. The group's main objective is to oust the government of the current Chadian president Idriss Deby. SCUD has bases in eastern Chad and in the Darfur region of Sudan. On December 18, 2005, SCUD, along with members of the RDL rebel group, attacked Chadian troops stationed in the city of Adre, sparking the current Chad-Sudan War.
