The image displays a dense gathering of several hundred adult men in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo, situated outdoors under an overcast sky. The immediate foreground is populated by individuals, many of whom are wearing protective hard hats in various colors including orange, red, white, and light blue. Several men in the front are also equipped with lime green reflective safety vests, some featuring identifiable corporate logos, such as an orange heart-shaped emblem with text. One man on the far right, wearing a red hard hat and a safety vest, smiles directly towards the camera. The crowd extends deep into the midground, forming a solid mass of individuals and headgear. The background reveals an urban setting with multiple multi-story buildings of varying construction states, some appearing incomplete or partially built. A tall cellular communications tower is prominently visible on the right side of the background. Distant mountains are faintly discernible on the left horizon. The individuals are standing, generally facing forward, indicating a public assembly or organized event.
