Afghanistan Flag

AFGHANISTAN, the landlocked Middle Eastern country having the Hindu Kush mountain range in the northeast and deserts like Margo and Rigestan in the south, had a variety of flag designs throughout its history. The current flag has been existence since the beginning of the 21st century, being adopted in 2004. The flag in 2002 through 2004 was generally similar, but had subtle changes in the central emblem and a different flag ratio (1:2 versus the current 2:3). The flag features three vertical stripes: black, red, and green from left to right. Afghanistan's national emblem is colored white and is centered over the middle red stripe.
