Flag of Afghanistan

This is the flag of Afghanistan The flag of Afghanistan (Pashto: د افغانستان بيرغ; Dari Persian: پرچم افغانستان) has had more changes since the start of the 20th century than any other flag in the world.[1] Afghanistan has had 21 different flags since the first flag when the Hotaki dynasty which made Afghanistan independent was established in 1709.

The current flag was adopted by the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in 2013. This flag is similar to the one flown in Afghanistan during the monarchy between 1930 and 1973. The difference is the addition of the shahadah 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 most flags of Afghanistan in the last twenty years. The center emblem is the classical emblem of Afghanistan with a mosque with its mihrab facing Mecca.

The current Afghan flag, together with the flag of Cambodia, hold the distinction of being the only two state flags to feature a building.
