Just cross-posting my entry for the current Weekly Flag challenge over at alternatehistory.com.

Have this description I posted there!

"The flag of the Tenere Republic, the first Tuareg state. Established in the Agadez region of Niger its capital is, naturally, Agadez. While de facto an Islamic dictatorship, government control is spare and provides a stark contrast to the slowly democratizing Niger.

The flag of Akal Ne Tenere, as the natives refer to it, has a green Agadez Cross in the center, whose colour stands for the Muslim faith of the population, while the cross itself stands for the unity of the people with God and for the protection of the republic and its people from evil, as well as the desire to represent the entirety of the Tuareg people with its four corners representing the world . The red border was added to symbolize the blood shed by the Tuaregs during their struggle for independence."

Once the poll comes up, I'll post the link so that you can see who I am competing against and maybe vote for it.#

EDIT: It is official. This flag won the contest. YAY!
