"A Short Memoir of a Female Civil Servant"
written by Ibrahim Paygham

open.substack.com/pub/moskaafg...
Image of the flag of Afghanistan: In late 2001 Afghanistan’s Northern Alliance, with the aid of the United States, toppled the Taliban, and an interim government was established. On January 29, 2002, the government adopted the current flag. Its modified coat of arms includes the Arabic inscriptions “Afghanistan” and “There is no deity but God; Muhammad is the messenger of God.” The coat of arms still includes a mosque, two flags, and sheaves of wheat. A new national constitution approved in 2004 but not yet promulgated stipulates adding the inscription “God is great” and the date 1298 in the Islamic calendar (corresponding to the Gregorian date of 1919), the year Afghanistan achieved independence. Amid the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in 2021, the Taliban retook control of the country. But, as in the 1990s, the group struggled to gain legitimacy abroad. The ousted government retained international recognition, as did its flag. [credit: Britannica]
