Coat of arms of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The coat of arms of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic is a symbol created by the Polisario Front, the resistance group/political party in the Western Sahara. The Polisario Front proclaimed the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic on February 27, 1976. This state (largely unrecognized) controls 20% of the Western Sahara, a territory called the Free Zone.
The symbol depicts two crossed rifles with the flag of Western Sahara hanging from either gun. Centered above them, is a red crescent and star, Islamic imagery. Surrounding the guns and crescent are two olive branches, one on either side. At the bottom is written in Ḥassānīya Arabic the Polisario motto "حرية ديمقراطية وحدة" (English: "Liberty, democracy, unity") in black on a red banner.
It is claimed as coat of arms of Western Sahara.
