🇪🇭 Flag: Western Sahara emoji

The flag of Western Sahara, a disputed territory in North Africa, largely controlled by Morocco but claimed by the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR). The flag features three horizontal stripes (black, white, green) with a red triangle containing a red crescent and star. The colors represent Pan-Arab unity and the symbols represent Islam and the independence struggle.

Western Sahara is known for its ongoing territorial dispute, phosphate reserves, nomadic Sahrawi culture, refugee camps in Algeria, vast desert landscapes, and complex international legal status. The territory has been the subject of UN peacekeeping efforts and represents one of the world's longest-running territorial disputes.

This emoji is used in discussions about territorial disputes, Sahrawi independence, Moroccan occupation, North African politics, or when referencing disputed territories, refugee issues, phosphate mining, and the ongoing struggle for self-determination in the region.
