I see nothing about that image that looks staged - it is too poorly composed (the fire is dead center, the man in the background is obscured, the horizon is crooked..
I saw the foreground man as stationary, reading his prayer book, while others are feeding the fire. The photographer went close the foreground man to create a dominant element, with the fire adding a layer of interest. It was poorly executed, but not staged.
