LIVE Nyiragongo Volcano MASSIVE Eruption DR Congo Africa

If you live on or right next to a volcano, what the F do you think is going to happen one day?
Doesn't it seem like a lot of seismic volcanic activity worldwide?
I’m no government official, but based on the picture, I would also say it has erupted
This is heartbreaking

Looking at that picture, I’d bet the citizens are saying it too.
