What ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ญ means

The flag of Western Sahara as shown in the emoji set: black, white and green stripes with a red triangle and a red crescent and star. It is the flag of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.

Sahrawi people and their supporters use ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ญ for identity and self-determination. It also appears in news and geography posts about the territory.

The territory's status is disputed: Morocco controls most of it and claims it, while the Polisario Front seeks independence. Using the flag can read as taking a side.
