Taliban Cuts Off Internet Across Afghanistan, Citing Morality Concerns Amid Global Condemnation

The Taliban shut down internet and telecom services across Afghanistan on Monday, citing morality concerns as the UN condemned the move, warning of 'significant harm' to citizens who rely on digital connectivity for their daily lives. The country was plunged into near-total digital darkness, with the blackout affecting all provinces. The Taliban's decision was seen as a significant escalation of its efforts to impose strict Islamic law on Afghan society. The UN called on the Taliban to restore internet services and allow citizens to access vital information and services.
