This screenshot shows the protest underway in
the Capital. There is black smoke and fire in the
background but it is unclear whether this is
from the protesters or the gendarmerie. This
image also leads us to believe the protest was
partly conducted on a main road. This is also
an important indicator as it helped the DVC
piece all the information together.

This screenshot shows the protesters in the
background, as well as police dispersing the
protest.
At the right of the image, the DVC observed a
Shell Petrol Station, as well as a green sign
saying “Pharmacie Sira.” When searching for
this Pharmacy, a website outlines its location,
which is Rond Point in Ratoma. This was our
initial starting point to identify the location of
the protest.
Geolocation and corroborating evidence
Description
Image 6.
Potential location of a roundabout with Shell
and Total gas stations.
Shell Station: 9.642806 N, 13.586333 W
Total Station: 9.6432466 N,13.587405 W
After analysis this location was dismissed. This
was the initial location the DVC found, but it
later became clear this was incorrect as it did
not match up with the location of the
pharmacies identified. This shows the
importance of taking your time and checking
your geolocation with your colleagues.
Although this seemed like an easy geolocation,
it was not.
