Between November 26 and 27, 2007, clashes broke out near Hadjer Hadid, Chad between the Chadian government and the Union of Forces for Democracy and Development (UFDD), a rebel group led by Mahamat Nouri. The rebels launched an offensive on government troops in Abou Goulem and Am Zoer, but were forced to retreat. The battle was one of the deadliest and most violent during the Chadian Civil War.
