The flag of Western Sahara (Arabic: علم الصحراء الغربية, Spanish: Bandera del Sáhara Occidental), also known as the flag of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (Arabic: علم الجمهورية العربية الصحراوية الديمقراطية, Spanish: Bandera de la República Árabe Saharaui Democrática), uses a national flag consisting of a black, white and green horizontal tricolor charged with a red star and crescent in the center stripe and a red chevron at the hoist. It is used on SADR-controlled areas, while the Moroccan flag is used on the occupied parts of Western Sahara.
The flag is a combination of the Pan-Arab colors of black, green, white, and red, and the Islamic symbol of the star and crescent. On 27 February 1976 the flag was adopted as the official flag of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR). It was slightly modified in June 1991.[citation needed] It is said to have been designed by El Uali Mustafá Sayed, the first president of the SADR.
