The witness, Wali Khan, is thirty-five years old and can speak, read and write English. He initially identified himself as Haji Alam Khan, the father of Mohammed Aslam.

The decedent and his family were originally from Afghanistan, which they left when the Taliban came to power.

He graduated from Afghan high school in Pakistan and attended classes at a Pakistan college. He is married with two children, Saman (son) and Asma (daughter); however, he would not provide his wife’s name because “it is against custom.”

Wali Khan testified that his family is pursing the lawsuit against Midwest and Honeywell in order to receive money from Midwest’s and Honeywell’s insurance. It is his understanding that Midwest was responsible for the accident because it did not give proper instruction and Honeywell was responsible because its alarm did not sound or did not work. They have not sued the airline or the pilots because they do not believe that they are at fault.
The family has not spoken to the airline or the Afghan government regarding the occurrence. Wali Khan was not aware that the Afghan government report found the pilots at fault for the

In October 2000, Meena Gardizi was forced to flee her home in Kabul, Afghanistan because of death threats and persecution from by the Taliban. These threats were made not only to her, but also to her brother and sister-in-law because of Ms. Gardizi. Ms. Gardizi left behind her beloved brother, the only biological family she had left, and his wife in attempts to distance herself from them for their own safety. As a young woman, Ms. Gardizi could not and can not protect herself from the Taliban and their zealots. The government cannot keep her safe. Ms. Gardizi seeks asylum in the United States so that she will not be forced to return to her country, where the Taliban will
In Afghanistan, there is a divide between the Pashtuns and the Hazaras; the Pashtuns are upper class citizens who are treated with respect while the Hazaras are lower class, minority citizens who are treated poorly. Because of the contrasting history of the two groups, their responses to the Taliban’s takeover of Kabul were complete opposites. The Pashtuns “danced on [the] street,” (Hosseini 200) while the Hazaras cried “God help the Hazaras now” (Hosseini 213). The conflict between the Pashtuns and Hazaras in “The Kite Runner” directly reflects the real life issues in Afghanistan starting in the late 70’s and continuing on past 2001.
There is an understood social order and staying in one’s place retains balance and order in a community or even a country. The leaders at the top are recognized to be equipped with great minds, worthy of the peoples trust, and strong enough to make the unpopular decisions. These substantial men in all their glory sit atop a mountain out of reach to the common man. Never would we encounter them misusing their power for personal gain or to act under the confines of tradition that no longer serve society justly. In the crucible the Puritans of Salem trust their divinely appointed ministers to sweep away the evil among them. The devout and loyal colonists wouldn’t expect the guardian ministers to become the very evil they were set upon crushing. In the case that the conductor stumbles off their intended path this error may be caught when it is too late. The train is gaining speed consuming more and more fuel and amassing raw power. One cannot stop the train to question its new and controversial path. In Good Night and Good Luck nuclear warfare could become reality at any moment. America’s worst fear and most hated enemy is the communist. Junior senator McCarthy takes this opportunity to be the gallant defender of The Union. Common sense says anyone engaging in criticizing him must be a communist and an enemy of the state. Contrary to this type of defense logic is the possibility the procommunist critic is actually the voice of reason and truth that America desperately needs to
This article is based on the shooting death of Reza Payan by a longtime friend Ronald Melnik. On January 1, 2011 Reza Payan invited his friend Ronald Melnik out to a New Year’s Eve party. At this party Melnik became intoxicated and at the end of the night when Payan offered him a ride home the two got into an altercation with each other which ended with Melnik shooting Payan, resulting in the death of Payan (Olmeda, 2017). The article is talking about Melnik trying to get his second-degree murder case dismissed because of the evidence of a blood sample being destroyed while he was trying to find someone to test the blood to get his own results. This analysis primary focus is on the prosecution and pretrial phase of a case.
Ms. Moore is an outsider; she is isolated from the rest of her community. The narrator says, “This lady moved on our block with nappy hair and proper speech and no makeup. And quite naturally we laughed at her…” (Bambara 1). Ms. Moore does not incorporate the significant influence of the white community in her everyday life, unlike others in her community. For example, she wears her hair natural and does not try to tame it. Her knowledge and her peculiar look caused people to think strangely about Ms. Moore. The narrator states, “Which is just one of the things the grownups talked about when they talked behind her back like a dog” (Bambara 1). This infers that the adults are most likely intimidated and jealous of Ms. Moore’s refinement; however,
Amir finds out that he is ill, and he begins to truly hear about the war-zone atmosphere in Kabul and all of the destruction there. Hassan’s name is brought up when they meet up about a week later, and Amir finds out that the Taliban killed him and his wife. However, before the conversation is over Amir finds out that they had a son named Sohrab. The reader can see that this is now Amir’s’ opportunity to fix his past decisions.
Forecasting is the methodology utilized in the translation of past experiences in an estimation of the future. The German market presents challenges for forecasting techniques especially for its retail segment. Commercially oriented organizations are used to help during forecasting as general works done by academic scientists are not easy to come across (Bonner, 2009).
“The curious thing was, I never thought of Hassan and me as friends either… Never mind that we spent entire winters flying kites, running kites. Never mind that to me, the face of Afghanistan is that of a boy with a thin-boned frame… a boy with Chinese doll face perpetually lit by a harelipped smile. Never mind any of these things. Because history isn’t easy to overcome. Neither is religion. In the end, I was a Pashtun and he was a Hazara, I was Sunni and he was Shi’a, and nothing was ever going to change that.” (Housini
“’Afghanistan is the land of Pashtuns. It always has been, always will be. We are the true Afghans, the pure Afghans, not this Flat-Nose here. His people pollute our homeland, our wantan. They dirty our blood….
The Taliban implemented laws restricting the movements and actions of women in Afghanistan in public places. While attempting to visit her child in a home for young girls, Laila is beaten within an inch of her life as a consequence of walking outside without a male escort (Hosseini). The extreme course of action, beating a woman for walking alone, demonstrates the illogical and unjustifiable actions the Taliban promotes the practice of in Afghanistan. The women and men have dramatically unequal rights.
