Question

In October 2023, a country closed all of its diesel power plants after Shema Power [this lake] opened the world’s largest methane extraction system on it. The term “mazuku” is most associated with deaths around this lake. Until 12,000 years ago, this lake emptied (15[1])north towards Lake Edward. The March 23 Movement and most active “Mai-Mai” militias operate (15[1])in a region named for this lake. Bukavu lies on the south end of this lake, while many invasions have occurred on the road between Gisenyi and (*) Goma to its north. The Ruzizi River drains this lake into Lake Tanganyika and the Congo River system. This lake is the largest believed capable of having limnic eruptions of carbon dioxide. A conflict commonly named for this lake is a continuation of the Second Congo War. For 10 points, what African Great Lake west of Rwanda names two provinces (10[1])of the DRC? ■END■

ANSWER: Lake Kivu [accept Shema Power Lake Kivu] (“Mazuku” refers to deaths caused by carbon dioxide in a limnic eruption.)
