The image depicts a public event occurring on a covered stage within the SMICCO cultural center or stadium facility in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the foreground, a light-skinned adult male wearing a grey short-sleeved button-up shirt and blue jeans stands centrally, holding a blue-tipped microphone in his right hand, seemingly addressing an audience. To his left, another dark-skinned adult male in a light brown shirt and dark green utility vest stands with clasped hands, observing. To the right of the central speaker, a dark-skinned adult male with glasses and a patterned blue shirt stands behind a dark podium with red accents. Further right, a dark-skinned adult male wearing sunglasses, a tan long-sleeved shirt, and dark trousers stands with clasped hands. The stage is covered by a large wooden truss structure with a corrugated metal roof. Blue metal pillars support this structure. In the background, a prominent blue wall features the white lettering "SMICCO" and a white logo, confirming the location. Below the "SMICCO" sign, rows of red chairs are visible, occupied by numerous seated individuals, predominantly adult males, comprising the audience. Speaker equipment is partially visible on the far right of the stage floor. The overall environment suggests an organized public gathering under a semi-open structure.
