The scene depicts an outdoor gathering of approximately 30 individuals, predominantly adult males, in the city of Fizi, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The ground in the foreground consists of disturbed red-brown earth, forming a mound with scattered dry plant debris, consistent with a recent excavation or burial. Several small, crudely fashioned wooden crosses are visible embedded in the earth behind this mound, positioned near the feet of the standing group. The individuals are clustered, facing a central area of the disturbed ground. One man, positioned centrally and slightly forward of the main group, holds a blue folder or document open in his hands, appearing to address the assembled people or read from the document. A light-colored fedora-style hat lies on the ground near his feet. Other individuals are standing, observing, with many looking towards the central area or down at the ground. Their attire varies from casual shirts and trousers to more formal jackets and patterned fabrics. The background features sparse, dry bushes and an unencumbered light blue sky. The overall environment suggests a dry, open area under clear daylight conditions.
