This image depicts a large gathering of individuals, predominantly adults of African ethnicity, under a makeshift fabric canopy or tarp in Kundu 1, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The ground surface is red-brown earth, with patches of green vegetation visible along the edges and in the background. Natural light illuminates the scene, suggesting daytime. Multiple rows of people are visible, with many seated or squatting on the ground in the foreground and mid-ground, while others stand further back. Attendees are dressed in a variety of attire, including casual shirts, patterned dresses, and some more formal wear like collared shirts and blazers. Several individuals, particularly in the foreground, are holding or interacting with mobile phones. Expressions vary, with many looking forward, some smiling, and others appearing attentive. In the mid-ground, one man in a dark blue shirt and shorts is bent over, facing downwards. In the upper background, women are observed wearing colorful dresses and head coverings. The overhead canopy material appears light brown, with partial text visible on a white section, possibly reading "SAC". The overall scene suggests a community meeting or social assembly.
