The Taliban authorities have ordered a nationwide shutdown of the country’s fiber optic internet until further notice.
This decision has cut off millions of Afghans from stable internet access, affecting communication, education, businesses, and humanitarian work.
International organizations, including the UN, have already raised concerns, warning that the blackout will worsen the economic and humanitarian crisis.
Earlier, the Taliban had already restricted internet in several provinces, citing “morality” concerns. Now, the shutdown has expanded nationwide.
