However, an earthquake and InSAR study conducted by Derek Keir and colleagues shows that a magma intrusion around  deep and  long emanated away from the volcano and intruded near the eastern side of neighboring Adwa in May 2000.
A seismic event and InSAR analysis by Derek Keir and colleagues demonstrates that a magma intrusion occurred at considerable depths and extended over lengthy distances, diverging from the volcano and invading the vicinity of neighboring Adwa in May 2000.
