The Islamic Emirate addressed questions regarding the destiny of the nation's tricolor flag, explaining that the flag's design is not permanent and that any governing regime has the authority to select the country’s flag.

Zabihullah Mujahid the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate said that Afghanistan's flag is presently white, and its design may change in the future following a collective agreement at an appropriate time.

"We currently have a white flag, and it is sufficient. If in due time, collectively, something else is agreed upon, then that too will be used," said Zabihullah Mujahid, the Spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate.

However, some political analysts said the nature of a country's flag is important in representing its identity to the world and say that the citizens should have a role in deciding which flag to choose.

"The Islamic Emirate should also call for a grand assembly of the people and obtain authority from the citizens on which flag they choose as their national flag. Whatever decision the people make, the government must accept it,” said Zakiullah Mohammadi, a university lecturer.

"The decision regarding the tricolor flag should be made by the Afghan nation, or how the parliament should be formed; the people should decide,” said Mohammad Matin Mohammad Khel, a political analyst.

Following the return to power of the Islamic Emirate in the country, the national tricolor flag was replaced with the white flag of the Islamic Emirate. However, the future fate of this flag remains uncertain.
