Morning logistics cart at Ngaoundéré sorting facility

Soft morning light falls through heavy fabric curtains, casting elongated shadows along the concrete walls of a parcel sorting room in Ngaoundéré. A metal liftgate service cart sits stationary on the gray floor, its handle and wheels clearly defined against the quiet space. Nearby, a conveyor belt stretches toward a distant vanishing point, lined with empty metal trays and plastic sorting bins ready for the day's first delivery. The air is still, marked only by the geometric precision of the converging belt lines and the stark contrast between the warm dust motes in the light beams and the cool gray surfaces of the industrial equipment. A small red warning label stands out on the side of the cart's flatbed.
