This image depicts a densely packed outdoor gathering of approximately fifty to seventy-five individuals, predominantly young to middle-aged adult males, during daylight hours, situated on a street in the city of Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The crowd fills the majority of the frame, with individuals standing in close proximity. In the immediate foreground on the left, a man wearing glasses and a light-colored plaid shirt (white, blue, and red) is visible from the chest up, looking towards the right side of the frame. In the central-right foreground, an individual viewed from behind wears a black t-shirt with "Gondwana-City Productions COMÉDIEN CANAL+" printed in white text; this individual wears white medical-style gloves and has hands extended towards a man in front, who wears a red and yellow patterned short-sleeved shirt and faces the gloved individual with a focused expression. Another individual in a white tank top is also seen wearing white gloves. Numerous other individuals are visible throughout the crowd, many with animated or serious expressions. Several people have their fists raised in the air. In the background, a man in a blue denim shirt holds a silver pan or bowl aloft with his right hand. Multiple light-blue rectangular signs are held above the crowd; one legible sign reads, "A CAUSE DE MAFIA DE TERRE L'INSECURITÉ ATTEINT LE CONGO AU GRAND... QUI MÈNE À LA DÉPOPULATION..." (translated: "Because of land mafia, insecurity reaches the great Congo... which leads to depopulation..."). Behind the crowd, several light-colored multi-story buildings with blue window frames are visible, along with green trees and shrubs, some bearing yellow flowers. The ground appears to be a dry, possibly unpaved, surface. The scene suggests a public demonstration or protest.
