The image depicts a security situation on a partially degraded asphalt road in Sankara, Nigeria, under a partly cloudy sky. In the midground, a dark-colored Toyota pickup truck, modified into a technical, moves away from the viewer. Mounted in the truck bed is a heavy machine gun, operated by a standing individual in camouflage uniform and body armor. Two other armed individuals in camouflage uniforms are seated on the sides of the truck bed; one on the right wears a light-colored face-covering headwrap. A spare tire is mounted on the truck's tailgate. The road shows cracks and potholes. Along the right roadside in the background, a group of approximately five to seven civilians, dressed in various colored clothing, walk in the same direction as the truck. The environment is characterized by dry, sparse vegetation and scattered trees bordering the road. The immediate foreground on the right side shows a blurry, textured object, possibly part of another camouflage uniform, suggesting the perspective of the observer.
