    Default Where Were You When We Need You!?!

    If only this could have happened along with Mount Nyiragongo in 1994...

    Volcano erupts in CongoCNN) -- Africa's most active volcano, Mount Nyamuragira in the Democratic Republic of Congo, erupted early Saturday, spewing lava off its southern flank, the Congolese Wildlife Authority reported.

    Rangers in Virunga National Park reported hearing a loud explosion at 3:45 a.m. and then seeing lava flowing from the crater of the 10,333-foot volcano.

    Meanwhile.... some thought of Mount Nyiragongo spewing to be the cure-all to the 94 crisis, others would ionically blame her for creating a refugee crisis in 2002

    Default ... a stone’s throw across the Congolese border

    Do you recall this 2008 issue of Orion ?

    Oddly enough, I was struck by this single para when Lake Kivu rose !

    Nor would you know that a stone’s throw across the Congolese border another war is raging. The stillness and peace of this lake, barely a ripple, betrays its history. During the genocide, Lake Kivu’s shoreline rose not by inches but by feet from the mass of bloated bodies floating like an enormous raft of death, a stinking sink of cholera and diseases.
