ULC-R was formed in 1983 as a continuation of the Union of Communist Struggles (ULC).
The support to Sankara's government provoked the ULC-R section in France to split away from the mother organization.
After the break between Sankara and LIPAD in August 1984, the position of ULC-R was somewhat strengthened.
ULC-R held four cabinet posts in the new government, Basile Guissou (Foreign Affairs), Adele Ouédrago (Budget), Alain Coeffé (Transport and Communications) and Joséphine Ouédraogo (Family and National Solidarity).
