Summary
NAIROBI — A highly active volcano in eastern Congo erupted Saturday night, turning the sky above a fearsome red and causing evacuation plans to be activated in a major city devastated in 2002 and 1977 by Mount Nyiragongo’s most recent lava flows.By Sunday morning, however, officials said the speed of the lava flows had slowed and local journalists reported they had stopped just short of the outskirts of Goma, a picturesque lakeside city that is eastern Congo’s hub for trade and transport.
