Congo rebel leader surrenders:

The founder and leader of a Congo rebel group who is wanted for crimes against humanity surrendered Wednesday in the country’s North Kivu province, the United Nations mission in Congo said.

Ntabo Ntaberi Sheka, the founder of Nduma defense of Congo, has been wanted since 2011 under a national warrant for crimes against humanity, including for mass rapes. He surrendered Wednesday to UN forces in Mutongo in Congo’s east with full knowledge he will stand trial for alleged crimes, the mission said. He has since been transferred to Goma, the capital of the province. (AP)
