Afghanistan experiences a nationwide internet blackout, with the Taliban denying any intentional ban on women’s access.
Afghanistan is currently experiencing a nationwide internet blackout, affecting millions across the country. The widespread outages have raised concerns about access to information and communication, particularly among women.
The Taliban has denied any intentional ban on women’s access to the internet, stating that the disruptions are due to technical issues. However, critics argue that the timing coincides with increased restrictions on women’s rights and freedoms.
Human rights organizations have condemned the blackout, calling it a deliberate attempt to silence women and suppress dissent. They urge the international community to take action to restore internet access and protect the rights of Afghan citizens.
