Algeria "الجزائر"

The flag of Algeria is a powerful emblem of the nation's identity and struggle for independence. Its design consists of two equal vertical bands - green on the hoist side and white on the fly side. Centered within the green section is a red, five-pointed star and a red crescent. The green symbolizes hope, fertility, and the country's Islam heritage, while the white represents peace and purity. The red star and crescent are traditional symbols of Islam and signify both the bloodshed and the faith of the Algerian people in their fight for independence. The flag, adopted on July 3, 1962, when Algeria gained independence from French colonial rule, carries deep historical and cultural significance for the country and its people.
