Afghan journalist Bilal Sarvari reported on widespread internet disruptions in Afghanistan, stating: “Any internet services that cannot be filtered and monitored will be cut off.
” He confirmed that WiFi services have been initially disconnected, and in some provinces including Kandahar, mobile internet has also ceased operations.
Sarvari noted that Afghan Telecom is also facing reductions in some sectors. He described these measures as a form of mindset-building and reaction-testing to eventually bring internet services to their maximum limitation through subsequent assessments.
The Taliban group announced this decision to “prevent immorality.
” These restrictions have caused widespread disruptions in banking, government, and commercial services across the country.
