General Laurent Nkunda, rebel leader of the National Congress for People's Defence (CNDP), has said he wants to re-examine a $5bn dollar deal the Congolese government has struck with China.

The deal gives China access to Congo's vast mineral riches in exchange for infrastructure development, including hospitals and football arenas.

However, critics say China is behaving just like the imperial powers of the past.
