El Aaiun/Laayoune is the largest city in Western Sahara. It is the claimed
capital of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.
Recently the Polisario
Front has posted an image which contains the emblem of El Aaiun. It is a
circular emblem divided into 2 sections.
Unfortunately, that is the only
image of the emblem available.
