 Algerian Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Throughout much of the country, they took to the hills with whatever weapons were available and became guerrilla fighters; their first attacks on the security forces (not counting the Guemmar incident) began barely a week after the coup, and soldiers and policemen rapidly became targets.
As in previous wars, the guerrillas were almost exclusively based in the mountains of northern Algeria, whose forest and scrub cover were well suited to guerrilla warfare, and in certain areas of the cities; the very sparsely populated but oil-rich Sahara would remain mostly peaceful for almost the entire duration of the conflict.
The government's efforts were given a boost in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks; United States sympathy for Algeria's government increased, and was expressed concretely through such actions as the freezing of GIA and GSPC assets and the supply of infra-red goggles to the army.

Note that the star had the same position as in the present flag, but the emblem as a whole was not as wide.
The crescent moon and the star already appear as a local symbol on a 1927 postage stamp, and the line of separation between the green and the white is used as the the base of the star (whose upper point is toward the fly).
I suspect that the emblem was really drawn with the flag in a vertical position, with the white upward, to copy the symbol in other flags (as for example the military flag described above).
