A large group of people are gathered in an open area, likely a public square or a parking lot, in the city of Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo. A man is speaking from a makeshift stage, positioned on a raised platform and made of wood planks. He is wearing a dark-colored suit jacket. The crowd is seated on white plastic chairs facing the speaker, with additional people standing behind them. The crowd is predominantly male, with a few women visible. There are trees and buildings in the background, and the sky is clear and blue. The ground is covered in gravel and dirt. The scene suggests a public address or a community gathering.
