Chapter 5 "An event changed Afghanistan forever."

The event mentioned in the previous chapter was a battle in Kabul with shootings, explosions and bombs. It was the start of new era which was described since the perspective of Amir.

The next morning, the monarchy was a thing of past, Daoud Khan had ended the reign. The same day, Amir and Hassan had a little discussion with Assef, the son of the Baba’s friend. In which they argued about the future of the Hazaras and Pashtuns. This discussion almost causes a fight between them.
In contrast, Amir gives us an introduction about how the constitutional monarchy was replaced by a Republic and how was the situation of Kabul in this moment. This change only affected the future of the Hazaras because this ethnic group is the poor class in Afghanistan.
In conclusion, this incident was the beginning of a big conflict in Afghanistan, which marked their lives forever.
