Goma - Militia leaders signed a peace accord with the Democratic Republic of Congo's government on Wednesday that aims to end years of fighting in the country's restive east.

A representative for Laurent Nkunda, the main insurgent leader, was the first to sign the document in a ceremony attended by President Joseph Kabila and witnessed by reporters.

Nkunda's representative was followed by delegates for other armed groups, including Mai Mai fighters who had argued for changes in a draft proposal.
