This is a story to watch and see how it develops and ends. The rebels from Rwanda voted to replace their leader, Nknunda.
BBC NEWS | Africa | DR Congo rebels 'oust Gen Nkunda'.
Officers in the main rebel group in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo say they have ousted their leader, Gen Laurent Nkunda - a claim he denies.
CNDP officers told the BBC they had removed Gen Nkunda because of what they described as "bad governance". But a spokesman for Gen Nkunda then told the BBC that this was not true.
The CNDP launched a major offensive in August, which displaced more than a quarter of a million people and raised fears of a wider regional war. Gen Nkunda and his group says they are fighting to protect the Tutsi community from attack by Rwandan Hutu rebels based in DR Congo, some of whom are accused of taking part in the 1994 genocide.
