Karzai was born in an educated family. His father, Abdul Ahad Karzai, was a Popalzai tribal elder and a significant political figure who served as Deputy Speaker of the Parliament during the kingdom of Mohammad Zahir Shah in 1960. Karzai started his school in Kandahar city and then he moved to Kabul to complete his education. From 1979 to 1983, he took a postgraduate course in political science at Himachal Pardesh University in India. After he returned home, he started to work as a fund-raiser for supporting anti-Soviet Mujahideen from the early Soviet invasion until the rest of the 1980s in Afghanistan. Karzai was also worked as a middle man between the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the former Mujahideen.
Moreover, one of Karzai’s brothers had a close personal contact with former CIA Director William Casey and George H.W.Bush during the Soviet invasion. Karazai’s brothers immigrated to the United States; however, Hamed Karzai remained in Pakistan during the Soviet occupation. After the communist regime of Dr. Najibullah in 1992, Karzai worked as Deputy Foreign Minister in the government of Burhanudin Rabani. When the Taliban emerged in the 1990s, Karzai was at first one of their supporters but later he broke with them and refused to serve as their U.N ambassador. While Hamid Karzai was living in exile in Quetta Pakistan, his father Abdul Ahad Karzai was assassinated by the Taliban on July 1999. In the beginning of 2001 Hamid Karzai worked closely with the leader of Northern Alliance Ahmad Shah Masoud to help gather support for the anti-Taliban movement. When the 9/11 attack happened in New York and Washington, the US led NATO forces with Northern Alliance bombarded the Taliban shelters until their regime overthrew.
Afghanistan flag was adopted in 2002 by President Karzai in three vertical color stripes similar to Afghanistan flag during Zahir Khan's kingdom. However, Karzai added the deceleration of Shahadah above the two sides of wheat branches on top of the emblem. Afghanistan flag represents the long history of Afghanistan.
