In Omdurman, Sudan, approximately fifteen women are observed seated on dry, reddish-brown ground against a distressed, light brown wall. The subjects are attired in diverse traditional garments, including patterned tobes, headscarves, and several with face coverings, some obscuring the lower face. Many hold white rectangular papers or documents. The ground is arid, featuring sparse, dried vegetation. The wall exhibits visible deterioration, including cracks and flaking material. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight, casting defined shadows. Specific interactions include a woman in a yellow headscarf looking towards another in purple who gestures with her right hand. Footwear consists of sandals and closed-toe shoes. The collective posture suggests a waiting or gathering scenario.
