The Third Front (), known as Tamazuj (), is a claimed rebel group based in the Darfur and Kordofan regions of Sudan.
== History == Apparently formed during the leadup to the Juba Peace Agreement for the purpose of signing the agreement as a rebel group, the Third Front/Tamazuj was widely accused of being inserted into the process by the government of Sudan as a false rebel group. It claimed to be a former part of the SPLM-N rebel group, but this was denied by both major factions of that group. A UN investigation found that the Third Front / Tamazuj was possibly led by Arab militiamen who had served under Riek Machar in both the Second Sudanese Civil War (as part of the SPLA) and the South Sudanese Civil War (as part of the SPLA-IO), having spent the time between those two wars as part of the Popular Defence Forces (PDF), a paramilitary group under the government of Sudan. They were said to have been allowed to join the peace process at Machar's urging.
