Coat of arms Coming soon

Algeria's flag splits vertically into green and white, with a red crescent and star centred on the divide. Green and white represent Islam, purity and peace, while the red crescent and star are traditional symbols of Islam and recall the blood of those who died in the long war of independence from France, won in 1962.
