"The disruption of the internet marks the beginning of widespread repression across Afghanistan,"
"The Taliban could expand their crackdown and evade international oversight. This is a very serious concern."
Fiber-optic internet and mobile data across Afghanistan went down nationwide with no immediate explanation from authorities. Monitoring by the Internet Outage Detection and Analysis project showed nearly all connectivity down by Monday afternoon. NetBlocks described the move as a "comprehensive, total blackout." TOLO reported the Taliban may force mobile services back to slow 2G speeds and gave network operators a one-week deadline to shut down 3G and 4G. Women and girls who depend on the internet for work and education face severe disruption. Security experts warned the outage could signal widening repression and serious economic consequences.
