afghanistan jigsaw puzzle

The national flag of Afghanistan (Dari Persian: پرچم افغانستان[1], Pashto: افغانستان توغ) consists of a vertical tricolor with the classical National Emblem in the centre. The current flag was adopted on August 19, 2013, but many similar designs had been in use throughout most of the 20th century. The black colour represents its troubled 19th century history as a protected state, the red colour represents the blood of those who fought for independence (specifically, the Anglo-Afghan Treaty of 1919), and the green represents hope and prosperity for the future. Some have alternatively interpreted the black to represent history, the red to represent progress, and the green to represent either agricultural prosperity or Islam.
