The Ummah Liberation Army (ULA) is the military wing of the Ummah Party, the main political opposition group in Sudan.  The Ummah Party, headed by Sadiq al-Mahdi, was the ruling party before the 1989 coup that entrenched the National Islamist Front as the ruling party.  The Ummah Party is a pro-democracy party which advocates the establishment of secular rule in the Sudan. <p>The ULA was formed in the early 1990s in an attempt to assist existing opposition movements.  Located in the northeastern regions of Sudan, the ULA's role in the civil war consisted of coordinated attacks as a member of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), an umbrella organization of different resistance movements.  The ULA was responsible for destroying an oil pipeline in Somalia in 1999.  <br /><p><br />The Ummah Party withdrew from the NDA in 2000 because of the party's faith in the process of peace negotiations with the NIF.  Believing that the groups within the NDA were unwilling to concede the likelihood that peace talks would succeed, the Ummah Party withdrew from the alliance and declared a ceasefire.  Since this ceasefire, there has been no news of ULA activity although the Ummah Party remains a strong opponent of the NIF and recently boycotted Sudan's elections.<br />

The ULA has not been active since 2000.  However, the Ummah Party's continued participation in Sudanese politics implies that should peace negotiations seem hopeless the reemergence of the ULA is a distinct possibility.

Nothing is known about Uncontrolled Rage other than the name they chose for themselves and the circumstances of their first attack.  In October of 2002, Uncontrolled Rage bombed a National Bank branch in order "to protest the death of 23-year-old Anastasios Limouras."  (Elevtherotipia, October 29, 2002)  Limouras was shot to death by police on October 24.  The police claim to have "shot the youth in self-defense when [Limouras] threw a large stone at the Police car, because the officer had previously prevented him and two of his accomplices from robbing an elderly woman." (ibid)  The combination of Uncontrolled Rage's name, their decision to target a bank, and their criticism of the police suggests that the group is one of Greece's many anarchist organizations.
