Kabul Residents Report Challenges Due to Reduced Internet Speed
Imagine the internet is like a highway.
Suddenly, parts of the highway are closed in Afghanistan.
This is happening because the fiber optic cables, which help the internet work fast, aren't working properly.
People in Kabul and other areas are having trouble.
They are finding it hard to work, learn, and talk to others.
Sending messages and using online learning materials is now difficult.
Some people say it's hurting their businesses.
They hope the internet can go back to normal soon.
Residents of Kabul and other provinces reported reduced internet speeds.

Fiber optic services stopped working in 10 provinces of Afghanistan.
The suspension followed an order from the Taliban.
Residents express concerns about the negative impacts on daily life.
