"At least 38 Rwandan militiamen and five Congolese soldiers have been killed in clashes this week as Congo's government strives to impose its authority on the country's war-torn east. Major Ajay Dalal, spokesman for the U.N. peacekeeping mission in North Kivu province, said the fighting erupted after Democratic Republic of Congo's army deployed a battalion last week made up of reintegrated combatants from a 1998-2003 war."
