Afghanistan, also known as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is a country of Southern Central Asia. It shares borders with Pakistan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and China. Its official languages are Pashto and Dari Persian. Its capital and largest city is Kabul.
The Afghan flag was adopted in August 2021. The design consists of a plain white field with The Shahada in black Islamic Thuluth script. An Islamic oath and creed, the Shahada reads: “I bear witness that there is no god but God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.”
After the Taliban’s victory in the 2001-2021 war a new flag was introduced in Afghanistan. The previous flag in use since 2013 is still used internationally and by resistance groups.
National Anthem of Afghanistan: دا د باتورانو کور Dā Də Bātorāno Kor “This Is the Home of the Brave”
