The conflicts begun when M23 Rebels who were part of the Army disclosed that they were receiving low salaries from the Government. Tensions begun to rise when Bosco Ntaganda who is now at the ICC for alleged wars and crimes between 2002 and 2003 was being requested for by the Government of the Congolese Anatomy then, to hand him over to the ICC for trial.
