DRC: New fighting erupts in east

Fresh clashes between the DR Congo's army and a group of mutineers erupted Sunday in the eastern province of Nord-Kivu, defectors said, a day after fierce battles near a gorilla park. 'We're on the ground. We've been confronting the FARDC (the Democratic Republic of Congo's military) since this morning three kilometres (two miles) from Bunagana ... where we were yesterday,' Vianney Kazarana, a spokesman for the mutineers' March 23 Movement, told AFP by telephone.
