Flag Ratio: 1:2
The Flag of Afghanistan was recently adopted in by the transitional government in 2002. This flag is similar to the one flown in Afghanistan during the monarchy between 1930 and 1973. The difference is the addition of the shahada at the top of the coat-of-arms in the center.
This flag consists of three stripes of the colors black, red and green. This has been present on almost all flags of Afghanistan other than some in the last twenty years. The center emblem is the classical Emblem of Afghanistan one of a mosque with it's mihrab facing Mecca.
The Taliban-era flag featured the same emblem, but with green, white and black horizontal stripes instead.
