Around 8,000 people crossed into Rwanda from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to seek refuge following the eruption of the Mount Nyiragongo volcano, Rwanda's Emergency Management Ministry said.
"This morning, after lava flows from Nyiragongo volcano have stopped, most of Congolese evacuated to Rubavu are returning back home. Rwanda received around 8000 people last night," the ministry said on its official Twitter account.
Thousands of residents in Goma, a major city in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, spent the night outdoors following eruption, according to a spokesman for the Norwegian Refugee Council.
"There has not been a massive panic movement, but people are really worried," said Tom Peyre-Costa, the council's spokesman for west and central Africa.
The volcanic eruption seems to have subsided, according to the Goma Volcano Observatory, which monitors the volcano. Authorities in the city activated an evacuation plan as a precaution.
"We arrived quickly, we didn't expect these kinds of things which just happened to us," Theophile Tulinabo, a resident who fled his home after the eruption, told CNN in Buhene, a neighborhood north of Goma. "And where are we going to live now? At the moment, we don't know."

Be safe ❤🙏
After looking at this look like mother nature is going to be quite unpredictable this year🤔
@Zachary Bergman The degrees of separation between the two are pretty big. But I do agree that Trump did indeed provoke that particular sorry attempt at a… well, it was always more of a fart in the wind than anything. Much like what put ol’ Adolf in jail and gave him enough time to brew his anger and write Mein Kampf…in the same jail, no less. The difference is that Adolf marched side by side with his people while getting shot at and seeing his friends die by his side. Whereas Trump just told everybody that he’ll be there with them and just went home.
@Ivares Kesner this is true, but you can see that the fanaticism is still there. His direct involvement doesn’t matter to his supporters so much as they believe he’s diligently working for their “better America.” At least, that’s what I’ve noticed
@Zachary Bergman You’re not wrong in your observations. There will always be angry cultists on both sides eager to scream at people and try to enforce their version of what constitutes good values. The bottom line here seems to be that we shouldn’t let *any* particular opinion make us feel like we can be nasty to people. As you go around the world, you’ll find that pretty much everybody just wants what’s best for society. They simply disagree on the way to do it. We must hear each other out. We must try to understand each other. Because war is the ultimate failure in communication.
Every year is unpredictable as far as volcanos go.

Great explanation from the reporter in the studio (weather forecast guy)
Be safe ❤🙏
Just Earth reminding its guests that they don’t control any of this.
you mean God
@Tom bryan wrong, hell is real. This is a wake up call to Believe on Jesus
Sooooooo cliche
@clane clane 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Weather has been the one thing that has kicked our asses over and over and over again throughout history.
As for us controlling the earth, that’s kind of like saying one day our nasal hairs will rise up and take over our central nervous system.
We are tiny, tiny little life forms on a big, big planet in an infinite universe. We should start every day by looking up at the clouds and reciting that fact .
@San Geet they’ve gotten a lot better. The issue is that governments don’t see their work as necessary to be funded… until it’s too late. And it’s not just in Congo or the volcanologists that are responsible for that keep getting their funding cut. My brother works meteorology in the US and he says that when the government needs to cut funds, his department is the first to receive the cut.
Once again my heart goes out to these people and I feel sorry for her I don’t want to sound cold and uncaring I care a lot these last 6 years have been terrible they have broken me so you know what’s going on in our country breaks my heart I cried a lot and I don’t know what to do about it like I said if I could reach out to everybody who needed help I just wish somebody can reach out and help me
I can’t feel sorry for stupid people that want to live by a active volcano..
Time to pack up & resettle away from mother nature raft..
Common sense go’s along way..
@amara amara cmon man. Its already here
@Mike Smith these people are not kings and queens. They are dirt poor. How the f can they just move away
God be with them
@Mike Smith what about people living in Washington or Yellowstone, plenty of Volcanoes..
Wow!!😯 This is incredible footage!!!
Hell on earth..🔥…just a peek!
Beautiful eyes lady
Biden and democrats are hell on earth. Lol
@daniel collins hahaha couldn’t of said it better myself
I’m such a geographical dope that I’ve not consciously realized there was a live volcano in Congo‼️🤦♀️
Bless these poor people and provide them with safety and relief and humanitarian intervention‼️👁👁☎️
🇺🇸🌎💚✌🏽
How about our own homeless. Or the Mexican border.
Yes, there are active volcanos there. Also the mineral called ‘ coltan ‘ that is most probably powering up your cellphone or tablet chip right now
Neither did I 😳
Actually, there are several huge ones — at least 8 active/dormant volcanoes lie within 50 mi of Goma.
The area lies on the very active, western rim of Africa’s Great Rift Valley.
Check out the area on Google Maps using Terrain view and you’ll see a clear picture of a large volcanic field (hidden from the satellite view by jungle) of stratovolcanoes, cones, and crater lakes spreading from the northern shores of Lake Kivu in a general north-eastward direction.
Three huge volcanoes (including Nyiragongo) lie wholly within the DRC and the peaks of half-dozen others define the its border with Rwanda.
The field also extends into Uganda.
Much of the region’s volcanism has taken place during the current Holocene epoch, which began at end of the last Ice Age 11,700 years ago.
@B V How about ’em?
That aerial image is unbelievable! Looks like an ocean of lava!
It is an actual ocean of lava … pretty impacting if you never seen something like before.
Larry my brother am proud of you Kenya is bae🤗🤗

Humanity: The Covid-19 pandemic has been a real disaster.
Earth: Hold my beer.
Volcanos are not likely to kill millions of people this year.
@Van Lepthien Yellowstone might
@Van Lepthien If enough ash gets into the atmosphere to block the sun, mass extinction could happen. It has happened before on this planet.
@artsylovelylady Yes, it can, but we haven’t been having that sort of eruptions.
There will be a time when humanity will fail to exist just like the dinosaurs.
@opium 08
The dinosaurs existed for millions of years. Humanity has only existed for a few thousand years. Humanity is only a speck in the history of Earth. Arrogant of you to think humans will last forever.
Good… I hope it happens soon
That’s pretty deep dude

Humans will survive only if they find other suitable places to colonize besides the earth. But that will require travelling faster than light. Light is far too slow as it takes several years even from the closest neighboring star, and several centuries from others.
Nyiragongo has the fastest lava flow in the world. It really is a deadly volcano.
Google it, 60 KM per hour how can anyone run from that specially those near it. Thanks for sharing that knowledge.
Grey heavens, no light shed
Bleak day, change is ahead
Oval mountainside, naked cold
Unreleased powers, no fright
Slide down sorrow, smell what comes with the breeze
Cold chambers, punishment awaits
Hollow tone haunts, anticipation’s choir sings
Turn around, face the depth of inner sanctum
Autumn in the air, (the) smell of Black Metal 90-95
World moves, in mysterious ways
Body onwards, mind drifts
You die, then we hail (to our relief)
New age dawns
Face all wrath
Sickness; won’t understand,
Burning first
Grace falls
Volcano shaking
Fates are being sealed
Heavens blunder,
No turning back
Will you or will you not
To heroism walk
Black Lava, drifting down the mountainside
Black Lava, you can’t fight
Pernicious flow, redemptive perpetuity
Unholy drive, the gods arrogant grin
If my world’s a joke, do you see them smile?
Hellbound me – on a throne of gold
Wastelands prey on dying cattle
Desert sucks on poor man’s thirst
Glimpse of glory, walk ahead
Slaves of Nazareth, can not be fed
Black Lava, drifting down the mountainside
Black Lava, you can’t fight
Praying for you my friends 🙏 Namaste, Uganda
Hello how are you doing?
Larry madowo apo representing. 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Volcanoes in Africa, takes back old land. Volcanoes in Hawaii (Goddess Pele), makes new land. Mother Nature and Father Time, what a awesome force.
False gods have no power
