AFflag

What ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ซ means

Afghanistan's flag in its emoji form: black, red and green vertical stripes with the national emblem in the middle, a symbol of the country and the Afghan people.

Afghans at home and abroad use ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ซ for heritage, cricket matches, Nowruz greetings and news from the country.

The Taliban government flies a different, white flag with the Islamic creed. So the tricolour emoji often reads as a symbol of the former republic, and choosing it can carry a political meaning.
