The image depicts an urban street scene in Beni, Democratic Republic of the Congo, during daylight hours. In the immediate foreground, an individual in a dark blue uniform, including a cap and black boots, stands with his back mostly to the viewer, facing a group of approximately 15 to 20 individuals. His hands are raised with palms outward, directed towards the group. This group is largely composed of young adults, seated or squatting directly on the asphalt road. Several members have white or light-colored sheets, possibly paper banners or signs, laid on the ground in front of them. One individual centrally located within this group wears a flag of the Democratic Republic of Congo draped over their shoulders. Another person in the group holds a white object to their mouth. Their expressions are varied; some appear to be vocalizing or reacting. In the mid-ground, a red three-wheeled motorized vehicle, bearing the name "HAOJI," is parked on the road's edge. Several individuals, including men and a child, are positioned on or near this vehicle. The background features various structures: to the left, a white billboard with partially legible text, including "NOUVEAU" and "BUNI," stands near some green vegetation. Further left, a two-story building with a yellow and blue facade displays "C Central" signage. To the right, another building with a yellow exterior and an open storefront is visible. A motorcycle is partially visible in the far right background. The street appears to be an active thoroughfare, currently occupied by the individuals shown.
