Internet and Phone Services Restored in Afghanistan
Imagine the internet and phones suddenly stopped working for almost two days in a whole country.
That's what happened in Afghanistan!
People couldn't send money, do business, or even fly because everything was connected to the internet.
Even girls and women couldn't attend their online school.
The services were provided by companies like Roshan and Etisalat.
The Taliban, who run the country, didn't say why the internet went down, but then, thankfully, everything started working again.
A Taliban source mentioned 'technical reasons.'
Cell phone and internet services were restored in Afghanistan.
The outage lasted about 48 hours.
The outage followed previous restrictions, including an internet ban in the north.
Financial remittances, trade, and banking were paralyzed during the outage.
Online learning for women and girls was halted.
