Fighting erupted once again in the northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on Monday, violating a ceasefire agreement between the M23 rebel group and the Congolese army.

This renewed violence raises concerns about whether the M23 will halt its offensive following the withdrawal of Rwandan troops.

Both DRC and the United Nations have accused neighbouring Rwanda of supporting the rebels by providing troops a claim Rwanda denies.

The Congolese and Rwandan presidents are due to meet on December 15.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Didier Bayeye a Congolese political commentator, and leader of the Congolese community in the diaspora.
