Description

I was pointed to a flag that is being used by the Ministry of Defense (in exile) by the internationally recognized Afghan Government. It is their emblem, outlined in gold, placed on a red background. The flag can be seen at https://mod.gov.af/en/acting-defense-minister-meets-acting-special-envoy-european-union-afghanistan

Flag reported in 2014

The Afghan Ministry of Defense (Pashto: د افغانستان ملی دفاع وزارت) was an organ of the Central Government of Afghanistan, overseeing the entire  military of Afghanistan.

The flag was a green horizontal flag, displaying the coat of arms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Defense_(Afghanistan)#mediaviewer/File:Emblem_of_the_Ministry_of_Defence_of_Afghanistan.svg) in golden in the middle.

However this is most likely a screenshot from Al-Jazeera news, since it has its logo in the lower part of the image.

Notice the similarity in the coat of arms of the US Forces in Afghanistan and that of the Ministry of Defence of Afghanistan ( http://outlookafghanistan.net/assets/assets1011/moD.jpg, source: http://outlookafghanistan.net/national_detail.php?post_id=3870; http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSw0WcA6tdsHwRjox-DNm9EeJHOgkk58MnVPf2MkcpwR3gtWhaC, source: http://www.mod.gov.af/). It is most likely that the latter took the symbols and incorporated them in their flag.
