The image depicts a daytime street scene in the city of Beni, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The primary focus is a group of approximately 15-20 individuals in dark blue or black uniforms, identifiable as security personnel, many carrying long-barreled firearms. One uniformed individual in the foreground, with their back to the camera, is seen extending their right arm horizontally, appearing to direct traffic or individuals. On the left side of the paved road, a dark-colored SUV is parked amongst uniformed personnel and several civilians. Further left, a partially constructed building with corrugated metal siding is visible, with several motorcycles parked nearby. The road itself is a paved two-lane thoroughfare, flanked by dirt shoulders with sparse vegetation. Overhead power lines are visible spanning across the street. Buildings of varying construction, including concrete and corrugated metal, line both sides of the street. A prominent yellow building with the name "Shabibi" visible on its facade stands on the right side of the street, indicating a commercial establishment. Numerous civilians are present on the sidewalks and alongside the road. Multiple motorcycles are observed, some stationary and others in motion. Notably, one motorcycle on the right side of the road is transporting a large bundle of cut logs or firewood. The overall environment suggests a bustling urban or semi-urban area.
