The design is a faithful reproduction of the historical flag, a stark visual representation of a significant era in Afghanistan's history.
Horizontal Stripes and Symbolic Colors
The flag's design is dominated by three horizontal stripes. At the top, a bold black stripe signifies the shadowed past of Afghanistan, referencing the colonial and feudal periods. The central stripe, rendered in vibrant red, embodies the sacrifice and bloodshed of the revolution that brought the communist government to power. Finally, the green stripe at the bottom represents the promise of a prosperous socialist future for the nation.
Central Emblem
At the heart of the design, centered on the red stripe, is the distinctive emblem of the Democratic Republic. This emblem is a simplified rendition of the traditional Afghan national emblem. It features a prominent mosque, complete with its mihrab, with two crossed swords positioned beneath it. This emblem, a symbolic departure from previous flags, reflects the socialist ideology adopted by the new regime and underscores its commitment to the revolution.
