The image displays an urban street scene in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo, under an overcast sky. Two women are prominent in the foreground, each transporting a large, heavy sack. The woman on the left, viewed in profile, wears a blue dress with orange and yellow patterns and a dark head covering; she carries a large, light-grey sack on her left shoulder, with her right hand stabilizing it. To her right and slightly behind, a second woman, dressed in a multi-colored patterned wrap dress and head covering, walks with a similar large, light-grey sack balanced on her head, her hands raised to secure it. The immediate ground where the women are located is unpaved, dusty, and contains scattered debris. In the mid-ground to the left, several single-story buildings with painted facades and corrugated roofs, appearing to be commercial establishments or residences, line the unpaved area. Further right, a wide, paved road extends into the distance, actively populated by numerous pedestrians, motorbikes, and other vehicles, indicating a busy thoroughfare. Along the right side of the road, a vibrant and dense open-air market is visible, characterized by multiple vendors and pedestrians. Utility poles with overhead lines are present along the road's edge. The scene depicts a bustling urban environment characterized by commercial activity and daily transport of goods.
