GOMA: A river of red-hot lava came to a halt on the outskirts of Goma on Sunday, sparing the city in eastern DR Congo from disaster after the nighttime eruption of the Nyiragongo volcano sent thousands of terrified residents fleeing in panic.
Fire and fumes emanated from the blackish molten rock as it swallowed up houses, heading towards Goma airport on the shores of Lake Kivu and leaving smouldering wreckage in its wake.
But the military governor of North Kivu province said “the city was spared” by a matter of a few hundred metres (yards) after “the lava halted near Buhene on the outskirts of Goma”.
