Sheik Mi'shan cuts the ceremonial ribbon during the grand opening of the Karma City Courthouse Feb. 7. Sheiks, culturally, performed the duties of a judge for locals in disputes and civil cases, but are now willing to take a back seat and allow the newly installed judicial system to take over. City officials and Marines from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3rd_Battalion_3rd_Marines" class="extiw" title="en:3rd Battalion 3rd Marines">3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment</a>, Regimental Combat Team 1 were also present for the occasion.
