Good evening everyone. If we look back for a century and according to the history, we no longer have to have a diploma from a major university in the United States of America, Afghanistan or any nation around the world to run a country. Vice President and later President Amin, was a Columbia graduated who sold his motherland to the Russians, and killed thousands and thousands of his own Afghan people in Afghanistan. And even the ones before and after him, who are responsible for the lives of…

These are dark days for international jihadists. In Syria, Islamic State (IS) and Al-Qaeda militants are being chased out of their long-held strongholds either by troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad or the Kurd-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), backed by Russian and American airpower respectively. Pro-government militias in cooperation with national armies also have them on the run in Libya, Yemen and Iraq. As IS’s grand facade of a “caliphate” crumbles and it devolves into an improvised…

Terrorism is a real time problem faced by lots of people everyday. It also affected Najmah in Under the Persimmon tree by, Suzanne Fisher Staples.

They did not want to wage another war against a foreign country at the time, yet the War in Afghanistan lasted over…

him with a certain “ironic skepticism, and a sense of humor” that would have been a boon in such times of political decay in Delhi (Russel and Islam, Ghalib 26). He was, therefore, able to survive a feeble Mughal and oppressive British command of his home with some panache. Those are the broadest possible strokes that describe the circumstances of Ghalib’s birth, residence, and political connexion. There are, however, certain incidents that warrant specific attention and should be informative to…

This opposition to the Shah and his reforms came strongest from the Shi 'a clergy and in particular a priest name Ruhollah Khomeini who saw Mohammad Reza Shah as a pawn…

experience of life, which is what education is all about. For example, McCullough discusses the Panama Canal’s present-day significance. The canal was finished earlier and cost less than expected, and “is still running today exactly the same as it was in 1914 when it opened” (McCullough). In addition, the workers did not understand the chemistry of concrete, but they still built the canal better than people could do it today. The canal is a perfect example of engineering at its best: creations…
