By completely cutting internet services in Afghanistan, the Taliban have plunged the country into one of the most unprecedented information blackouts. This action, which includes fiber optic and mobile internet, began on Monday at 5 p.m. local time and has deprived millions of Afghan citizens of access to the outside world.

The nationwide internet shutdown in Afghanistan, which began on Monday (September 29), has not only plunged people’s lives into darkness but also silenced the Taliban’s propaganda loudspeakers. The group that cut the cables to take away the people’s voice now finds itself stuck in the same darkness.

For the second consecutive day, Afghanistan remains in a complete internet blackout. Since Monday evening (September 29), the Taliban, without prior warning, have cut all fiber optic internet services and mobile networks across the country, an action that experts say has created an unprecedented “digital blackout.”

The two-day meeting of Afghan civil activists and political representatives under the name “Unity and Trust” was held today, Monday (September 29), in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.
