After three years of talks, a peace deal has been signed between separatists and the central government in Senegal's southern Casamance region. It's hoped the agreement could bring an end to one of the longest-running conflicts on the continent, in which thousands of people have been killed and displaced since 1982.
Elsewhere, the Rwandan government says it has not supported the revived M23 rebel movement in eastern DR Congo, this despite UN experts asserting that Kigali provided weapons and uniforms to the group.
