The Afghanistan tartan was designed to mark, but in no way celebrate, a conflict which started in October 2001 when nations locked in a worldwide struggle to weaken and destroy the opium industry, which plays such an immense part in fuelling the economy of global terrorism, and which persists in stifling the wealth and freedom of the Afghan people.
The Light and Dark Browns signify the parched and arid countryside of Afghanistan; the Anc Blue is representative of the impressive mountain ranges with the White for the snow bound peaks. The Blood Red is the tragedy of the human cost on all sides.
