Western Sahara: The Saharawi Guerrilla
"Thousands of miles from any major civilization and with temperatures as high as 50 degrees Celsius, two armies are prepared to resume a war. On one side, there are over 100,000 heavily armed Moroccan conscripts. On the other, less than 20,000 lightly armed and highly mobile Polisario guerrillas."
This state of affairs sets the scene for Paulo Nunes dos Santos' photo reportage entitled, Western Sahara: The Saharawi Guerrilla, now appearing on Gaia Photos, an Internet portal comprised of 39 photojournalists from around the world whose mission is to promote quality and diversity in documentary photography.
Born in 1977 in a remote village in northeast Portugal, Paulo Nunes dos Santos relocated to Lisbon in 1998 in order to pursue Communication Sciences and Journalism studies at the university. Since taking his first foray into photography there, Paulo has traveled and photographed people and places of Europe, South America, Southeast Asia and Africa.
During the past few years, Paulo Nunes dos Santos has documented conflict and social issues while collaborating regularly with several media outlets in Portugal and his work is often published internationally.
Currently he lives and works as a freelance photojournalist in the Republic of Ireland and is available for assignments.
