The Democratic Republic of Congo and the M23 militia have restarted peace talks in Doha, mediator Qatar said Tuesday, following reports of violence in the DRC's conflict-torn east.

"We've received the two parties here in Doha from the DRC and the M23" to discuss the implementation of a previous agreement, Qatari foreign ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari told a regular news briefing.
