The image captures a formal gathering in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo, occurring outdoors under a light-colored canopy. In the central foreground, a male individual of African descent is depicted from the chest up, wearing a dark blue police uniform with "POLICE" inscribed on the chest, and a matching dark blue baseball cap. He performs a hand salute, with his right hand raised to his temple. To the left, a portion of a woman of African descent is visible, adorned in a vibrant yellow and green patterned dress, a white beaded necklace, and large oval earrings; her hair is styled in braids, and she faces left. To the right of the central police officer, a portion of another male individual, appearing to wear a camouflage military-style uniform and hat, is also performing a hand salute. The midground and background are populated by a crowd of multiple individuals, predominantly adults of African descent, observing the event from under the canopy. Natural, diffused light illuminates the scene.
