Democratic Republic Congo
(I am sorry, but that nation is not Democracy)


[DR Congo's Mount Nyiragongo has erupted
for the first time in nearly two decades.

Many thousands of people have fled
the city of Goma, some heading for
its highest point Mount Goma.
Others headed for the nearby Rwandan border,
with authorities there saying that
around 3,000 people had already crossed over on Saturday night.
Goma resident Zacharie Paluku told
The Associated Press: "Everyone is afraid,
people are running away.
We really don't know what to do."

There was a government evacuation plan but
it came hours after the sky had turned a
fiery red and power had been cut to the city.

Lava from the eruption flowed onto
a major road on Saturday as it reached the airport
on the city's edge, according to
a volcanologist based there.]

Yes, Homes Destroyed in seconds,
they would have been aware it could erupt
though, like before.

So Far 15 Dead
but many more Missing.

There was no warning.

They should set up a Siren for the next Eruption.

Over 30 Dead.

It is far worse In the Congo (DRC)
Thousands have to move town.

They can not get the Electricity Working
that blocks water going to taps.
