The image depicts a street scene in Beni, Democratic Republic of the Congo, identifiable by a sign reading "UNIKIN-APIERU" and "BENI" on the left. In the foreground-middle, approximately ten to fifteen individuals, primarily women, are engaged in a sit-in protest directly on the asphalt road, with at least one person holding a white protest sign. Two men in dark blue police uniforms stand in the left-center, observing the seated group. Behind the protesters, a small cluster of men stands, one holding the national flag of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. On the right side of the road, two men are positioned on motorcycles. The background features several buildings: on the left, a corrugated iron structure with metal frames leaning outside, suggesting a workshop. Adjacent to it, a smaller yellow-painted building with blue window frames. Further right, a larger, orange-painted building prominently displays the "Simba" brand logo and name. A dark SUV is parked further down the street on the right. Overhead power lines are visible against a bright, overcast sky. The overall scene captures a moment of public demonstration under the observation of law enforcement.
