The Rajit Liberation Army, abbreviated as RLA, is a Verdusan Rajit political and paramilitary organization founded in 1985, with the aim of overthrowing the Verdusan government, taking control of the holy city of Yerusalahm, and removing Judiasm, Islam, and Christianity from the power-sharing agreements guaranteed by the 1957 Verdusa constitution. The foundational charter of the RLA, published in 1987, articulated its ideology as a struggle against these religions, calling for the destruction of Verdusa to establish a Rajit state in its place. The group's insurgency against the Verdusan government and CCA peacekeeping forces in the 1987-89 civil war, and attacks against Verdusan civilians including suicide bombings, led to it being labeled a terrorist organization by most governments in the CCA, though it is recognized as a political party by the governments of Rajihat and Behinia, who have backed and supplied it.
