These photographic images were produced in 2009 in Smara, at the Saharaui refugee camp, in
the province of Tinduf in Algeria during the Sahara Marathon, which was ongoing at the time
and made it possible for the photographer to be there. The marathon was a solidarity
marathon, where more than 300 participated, coming from all over the world to support the
Saharaui. Every year on the 27th of February the saharaui people celebrate the anniversary of
the Democratic Saharaui Arab Republic (RASD).
Martino Buzzi, photographer lives in Valencia, Spain.
