An internet blackout has hit Afghanistan, leaving the country in a state of near-total disconnection from the digital world. This blackout comes as the Taliban enforces a morality crackdown across the nation, further isolating the Afghan people from the global community.
According to reports from the internet advocacy group NetBlocks, Afghanistan is currently experiencing a complete collapse of connectivity, with a nationwide disruption of telecommunications services. This blackout has severely limited the ability of Afghan citizens to access vital information, communicate with loved ones, and stay connected to the outside world.
The Taliban’s enforcement of strict moral codes, including restrictions on media and internet access, has raised concerns about the erosion of civil liberties and human rights in Afghanistan. The internet blackout exacerbates these concerns, further isolating the Afghan population and limiting their access to information and communication.
While the Taliban has stated that it aims to create a more “Islamic” society in Afghanistan, critics argue that these measures are a violation of basic freedoms and rights. The international community has expressed alarm at the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan, with calls for the Taliban to respect the rights of the Afghan people and uphold their obligations under international law.
As the internet blackout continues to impact the lives of millions of Afghans, concerns about the humanitarian crisis in the country are mounting. The lack of access to information, communication, and essential services poses a significant threat to the well-being and safety of the Afghan population.
In the face of this escalating crisis, it is crucial for the international community to stand in solidarity with the people of Afghanistan and advocate for their rights and freedoms. The internet blackout serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing the Afghan people and the urgent need for support and assistance.
