The image captures an urban street scene in Beni, Democratic Republic of the Congo, depicting an interaction between a uniformed individual and a group of civilians. In the midground, approximately fifteen to twenty individuals are seated or crouching directly on a paved asphalt road, forming a cluster. Many wear white t-shirts, and some have light green or white sheets of paper spread beneath them. A flag of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is visible within this group. Standing directly in front of and facing this seated group is a male in a dark blue uniform, black boots, and a dark beret, gesturing with both hands, appearing to address the assembly. To the left in the background, a white sign mounted on a pole is visible, partially obscured, bearing text including "UN JOUR NOUVEAU," "ACCOROM LA LIBERTE SA," and "EXTENSION DE BENI." Behind this sign, a yellow and blue building marked "C Central" is present, alongside another building with a corrugated metal roof. Stacked red metal frames are also visible in this area. Several onlookers are observed near these structures. To the right in the background, a prominent orange building features a large lion head emblem and the word "Simba," with "Bière Fraîche!" also legible, indicating a commercial establishment. Multiple individuals are standing near its entrance. Several motorcycles are present throughout the background; one red motorcycle is actively being ridden by a person wearing a black shirt with "NY 95" text, while another motorcycle is partially visible in the far right foreground with a rider facing away. The scene takes place on a two-lane road in what appears to be a commercial or mixed-use urban district.
