{{Just a Day after the signing of the DRC Peace Deal in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, factions within M23 Rebel movement have reportedly clashed owing to power struggle. }} <\/p>\n
Reports indicate that at least 8 people have been killed in the first clashes between rival factions of the M23 rebel group in DR Congo.<\/p>\n
The violence was linked to a power-struggle between M23 political leader Jean-Marie Runiga and military chief Sultani Makenga.<\/p>\n
However, M23 denied that it was hit by dissent, our reporter says.<\/p>\n
It blamed the violence on the FDLR rebel group, which is made up of Rwandans accused of involvement in the 1994 genocide that left about 800,000 people dead, he says.<\/p>\n
The M23 is involved in separate peace talks with the DR Congo government in Uganda. <\/p>\n
In January, it declared a unilateral ceasefire. The talks could run into trouble if the M23 mediation team splits between supporters of Mr Runiga and Col Makenga.<\/p>\n
Over the weekend on Sunday, regional leaders signed a UN-brokered accord to end conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.<\/p>\n
About 80,000 people have been displaced in fighting since May 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
