Abstract. This paper deals with some oscillation criteria of forced nonlinear fractional difference equations of the form \begin{equation*} \Delta^{\alpha}_{*} x(t)-g(t+\alpha-1,x(t+\alpha-1))+ f_1(t+\alpha-1,x(t+\alpha-1))= v(t), \end{equation*}
\begin{multline*} \Delta^{\alpha}_{*} x(t)-g(t+\alpha-1,x(t+\alpha-1))+ f_1(t+\alpha-1,x(t+\alpha-1))\\ +f_2(t+\alpha-1,x(t+\alpha-1))= v(t) \end{multline*}
where $\Delta^\alpha_{*}$ is a Caputo like discrete fractional difference operator, $t\in N_{1-\alpha}$, $ 0<\alpha\leq1$, $x(0)= x_0$. $g,f_i:[0,+\infty)\times R\rightarrow R$, $i=1,2$ and $v:[0,+\infty)\rightarrow R$ are continuous with respect $t$ and $x$ and $N_{1-\alpha}=\{1-\alpha, 2-\alpha,\ldots\}$.
