Goma Vs The Volcano
The citizens of an African community come to terms with deadly lava flows in a region used to turmoil and tragedy
January 21, 2002 Goma residents watch balls of fire and clouds of thick smoke after a gas station explodes. Dozens died as looters stealing precious fuel overturned a barrel on molten lava from the eruption of Mount Nyiragongo. Thousands of people have been returning to Goma despite UN advice to use refugee camps in neighboring Rwanda. Goma has been cut in half by a river of smoking lava.
