The image depicts a busy urban street scene in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo, observed through a severely cracked vehicle windshield. White fibrous material, resembling shredded insulation or glass remnants, is visible along the bottom edge of the frame. In the central midground, a dark green, three-wheeled vehicle, resembling a mototaxi or small cargo truck, travels away from the viewer. This vehicle is heavily loaded with yellow and blue bundled cargo, upon which at least three individuals are seated, two facing forward and one looking slightly right. The paved road extends into the distance, densely populated with numerous motorbikes and other vehicles, indicating a bustling thoroughfare. On the left side of the road, a yellow public transport van is partially visible. Further down the street, multiple motorbikes are seen in clusters. On the left side of the scene, beyond the yellow van, multi-story buildings line the street. One prominent building is light grey with blue accents and the name "Hotel Platinum" visibly printed on its facade, confirming the specific location in Goma. Overhead, a streetlight and an intricate network of electrical wires are present. On the right side of the road, a tall, grey concrete wall topped with barbed wire runs parallel to the street. Two individuals are standing near this wall. A faded blue and white painted mural or advertisement is visible on a section of the wall. The sky is overcast, casting a diffused, uniform light over the entire scene.
