RUF

The Revolutionary United Front, the name the rebels have given their movement. The initials "RUF" are carved into select captives by the rebels in order to recruit them to their cause; victims of this mutilation cannot escape rebel detection if they flee, and are often seen as rebel sympathizers by the citizens and government forces.
