Afghanistan sees telecom shutdown as Taliban cut off internet
The Taliban government in Afghanistan has imposed a nationwide shutdown of telecommunications, weeks after it began severing fibre-optic internet connections.
The country is currently experiencing a "total internet blackout", internet watchdog Netblocks reports.
International news agencies say they have lost contact with offices in the capital Kabul. Mobile internet and satellite TV has also been severely disrupted across Afghanistan.
The Taliban have yet to give an official reason for the shutdown. Since seizing power in 2021, the Taliban have imposed numerous restrictions in accordance with their interpretation of Islamic Sharia law.
A Taliban official said the telecom shutdown would last until further notice.
Afghanistan's cellphone, internet services down, monitoring shows
KABUL (Reuters) -Afghanistan's internet and mobile telephone services were down nationwide on Tuesday, residents and monitoring services said, but the Taliban administration offered no immediate explanation.
In the past, the Taliban have voiced concern about pornography online, with authorities having cut fibre-optic links to some provinces in recent weeks, as officials cited morality concerns.
NetBlocks, an international internet access monitoring organisation, said the internet was disconnected in phases.
"Afghanistan is now in the midst of a total internet blackout as Taliban authorities move to implement morality measures," NetBlocks said on its website.
