Approximately 25 individuals are seated in a linear arrangement on dry, reddish-brown earth, leaning against a weathered earthen wall in Omdurman, Sudan. The scene is illuminated by strong overhead sunlight, creating distinct shadows. The foreground and midground are occupied predominantly by women, dressed in various colorful patterned thobes and head coverings, including shades of blue, yellow, black, leopard print, floral, and light grey. Many individuals have their faces partially obscured by their head coverings or have their eyes closed. Several individuals are holding white rectangular papers or documents. In the background, additional individuals, including men wearing white traditional garments and headwear, are visible. A small metal cup rests on the ground near one woman. Sparse, dry vegetation grows intermittently on the sandy ground. Visible footwear includes sandals and flip-flops.
