ationship with the country where he was born has been unclear ever since his rebel movement split into two different factions earlier this month. It was unclear why Ntaganda choose to surrender, and to turn himself into the U.S. embassy, after years at large, though the split within his group may have left him more vulnerable. The move comes days after Ntaganda's ally Jean-Marie Runiga was detained by Rwandan authorities. The leader of a rival faction within the M23 movement at the time vowed to go after Ntaganda next. The news of Ntaganda's surrender was hailed by Congolese government spokesman Lambert Mende. "We are confident they will hand him over to justice," he said of the U.S. officials in Kigali. Nicknamed "The Terminator," for his ruthless actions, Ntaganda was born in Rwanda in 1973, and moved to the neighboring nation of Congo as a teenager. He was first indicted in 2006 by the International Criminal Court for conscripting and using child soldiers during his time as a senior commander in a Congolese rebel group accused of terrorizing the Ituri region of eastern Congo between 2002 and 2003. He later joined and rose through the ranks of a different rebel group, the National Congress for the Defense of the People, http://www.cheaptomsoutlet0.com - cheap toms , which signed a peace accord with the Congolese government on March 23, 2009, http://www.cheaptomsshoesoutletstore.us - toms outlet . That accord paved the way for Ntaganda and his fellow rebels to join the ranks of the regular Congolese army. Then last spring, he and his men began defecting from the Congolese army by the hundreds, claiming that the government had failed to uphold their end of the 2009 deal. They started a new rebellion, dubbed the M23, in honor of the March 23 signing of the now-defunct 2009 accord. And in November last year, the rebel group marched into and seized control of the provincial capital of Goma. Ntaganda's exact role in the M23 rebellion remained murky. Human rights groups accused him of leading it, while other M23 leaders attempted to distance themselves from the fugitive general. Rights groups on Monday called for Ntaganda's swift prosecution.
