The paper describes rebel leader Laurent Nkunda as "The 'butcher' bringing fear and panic" to thousands of people in the city of Goma.
The Guardian says "violent instability will continue to plague the region" unless long-term issues are addressed.
"Deeper problems including citizenship, management of natural resources, government legitimacy and return of refugees," are all of vital importance.
Risky business
The Andrew Sachs phone call row rumbles on, with the Daily Mirror labelling Jonathan Ross a "prize pumpkin" for throwing a lavish Halloween party amidst the furore.
The Sun takes a different stance altogether, referring to Children in Need and the £20m it raised last year.
It says: "Amid the justifiable outrage at the BBC, it is worth remembering that it still does some decent things."
The Daily Telegraph points out that good television "needs to risk causing offence", just like Fawlty Towers did.
'Sad prospect'
The papers also react to Barclays' plan to obtain billions of pounds from Middle Eastern investors.
The Daily Express calls the deal "a sad, sickening prospect" that is "bad for Britain's national interest".
The Financial Times says Barclays will struggle to persuade "sceptical shareholders" that the move - which dilutes their investments - was the right one.
Meanwhile, the Independent says Gordon Brown is also going "cap in hand to the Gulf" to ask for help with the economic downturn and the price of petrol.
'Not cricket'
"March of the dustbin Stasi," writes the Daily Mail. The paper is angry at the use of "anti-terror laws" to catch people who put their rubbish out on the wrong day.
"Their tactics are chilling", it says of councils. "Our civil liberties are too precious to be threatened by these meddling jobsworths."
The Times, meanwhile, is upset at Allen Stanford's million dollar cricket match involving England later today.
It is "meaningless and undignified", it writes, and just "not cricket".
