When is Afghanistan Independence Day?
Afghanistan recognizes Independence Day on 19 August. The date commemorates the country’s recovery of control over its foreign affairs in 1919.
What the figure or term means
The date overlaps with World Humanitarian Day, so public content should be explicit about which event it is discussing.
Independence history is politically and culturally significant and should be presented with historical sources rather than campaign slogans.
The date is fixed; contemporary observance and interpretation can vary.
Use the source publication date when connecting an observance or historical event to a current statistic or appeal.
