United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship
The United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) is a political movement in Thailand that emerged in 2006. It primarily consists of supporters of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and advocates for democratic governance. The UDD is known for its red-shirted supporters who rally for political reforms and oppose military influence in politics.
The UDD has organized numerous protests and demonstrations, particularly during the political turmoil in Thailand from 2009 to 2014. The movement seeks to address issues of inequality and promote the rights of the rural population, emphasizing the need for a government that reflects the will of the people.
