One of the first external conflicts is introduced in
Chapter 5 as Amir and Hassan run into Asef and some of his bullies and Assef taunts them
both, calling them homosexuals, etc. This external conflict is escalated in Chapter 7
as Hassan is caught while running the kite and Asef rapes him because he will not give
up the kite.
Another example of an external conflict is the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan but this isn't really central to the plot as much as the
previous conflict.
You also have the external conflict
between Amir and Asef that does not end until Chapter 22 when Asef beats Amir to a pulp
and only stops when Sohrab shoots him in the eye with his
slingshot.
