the flag of afghanistan.

The flag of Afghanistan, adopted in 2004 after the fall of the Taliban regime, has three equally wide vertical stripes with deep symbolic meanings. The black band, next to the flagpole, symbolizes the country's historical challenges. The red stripe in the center represents the blood shed by the independence fighters, symbolizing sacrifices for freedom. The green stripe at the end symbolizes hope for a prosperous future. The central emblem on the red stripe highlights a bird called "Mahya" flying towards the sun, representing rebirth and freedom, with stylized mountains in the background and the Shahada inscription, reinforcing the country's Islamic identity. Together, the colors and emblem encapsulate history, challenges overcome, and hope for a better future for the Afghan people.
