Congo rejected a rebel warlord's demand for direct talks to solve the conflict that has left hundreds of thousands hungry and homeless in a mineral-rich eastern province.

The rebels warned that the government's refusal on Tuesday could lead to more fighting.

Minor skirmishes broke out between General Laurent Nkunda's Rwandan-backed Tutsi rebels and a pro-government militia. And Nkunda's spokesman alleged that neighbouring Angola and Zimbabwe were mobilising to help Congo's government, raising fears of a broader regional war.
