Total Internet Blackout in Afghanistan Amid Taliban Crackdown
Afghanistan is currently experiencing a nationwide internet blackout as the Taliban enforces strict morality measures. Reports indicate that this communication shutdown, which includes both internet and mobile services, is aimed at curtailing activities deemed immoral by the regime. The blackout has sparked widespread panic, particularly among women and girls, who previously relied on internet access for education and connection to the outside world. The situation marks the first significant communication disruption since the Taliban regained control, leaving many residents in despair and fearing for their future as they grapple with diminished access to information and resources.
