large crowd of people gathered in an open space in Beni, Democratic Republic of Congo

large crowd of people gathered in an open space in Beni, Democratic Republic of Congo. They are mostly men, standing in groups and clusters. Some people are holding placards with text that is visible but not easily legible. The people are all dressed in casual clothing. The sky is overcast, and the ground is dusty. The image was likely taken from a nearby building as a person's finger is obscuring the bottom left corner of the image. There are a few buildings in the background and what appears to be a street in front of the gathering. The people appear to be gathered in a public space for a demonstration or protest.
