Flag: Western Sahara 🇪🇭 Emoji: Meaning & Usage

The flag of Western Sahara — the contested territory on Africa's northwest coast largely controlled by Morocco but claimed by the Polisario Front (SADR), representing one of Africa's most long-running decolonization disputes. Spain withdrew in 1975; Morocco annexed the territory claiming historical sovereignty. Hundreds of thousands of Sahrawi refugees live in camps in Algeria.

The territory has phosphate resources and Atlantic fishing grounds. Used for North African territorial dispute discussions, decolonization and self-determination debates, Moroccan foreign policy, and the Sahrawi refugee situation in Algeria.
