 President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Felix Tishikidi, accompanied by his wife, have paid a visit to Goma City, where the recent volcanic eruption of Mount Iiragongo devastated the area. The head of state assessed the damage inflicted in and around the city by the volcano's fury spurts, and promised the locals that all houses destroyed by the lava would be rebuilt. Victims of the natural disaster said they had the opportunity to share their concerns and grievances with the Congolese leader. A local resident affected by the natural disaster says she feels hurt but still wants assistance. And another resident who appeared happy to see the president on site himself says he hopes concrete help is on the way.
