Oct. 1, 2025, 5:33 AM EDTBy Jay GanglaniThe Taliban has denied imposing a nationwide internet ban, claiming instead that the blackout consuming Afghanistan was due to old fiber optic cables that were now being replaced. Wednesday’s announcement was the Taliban’s first public statement since a communications blackout hit the country of over 40 million people, disrupting everything from banking to travel and businesses to aid work. The Taliban’s Urdu language website Al-Emarah quoted spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid as saying that some people were spreading rumors about a ban on internet access in the country, which he said were not true.However, one senior Taliban leader in Kabul told NBC News: “We don’t understand what’s happening in the country. Nobody is telling us as majority of the people don’t have access to each other.” It comes after several provinces said last month they would shut down the internet after a government order to crackdown on immorality, fueling fears about new limits on access to the outside world.Internet watchdog NetBlocks said Monday that a near nationwide telecoms disruption was in effect. Less than two hours later, it announced that Afghanistan was “now in the midst of a total internet blackout.” A view of Kabul, on Monday night, following the nationwide telecoms outage.Wakil Kohsar / AFP via Getty ImagesThe United Nations urged Taliban authorities “to immediately and fully restore nationwide Internet and telecommunications access,” in a statement Tuesday.The shutdown has left millions of people from Afghanistan who now live outside the country distressed, with many unable to contact their loved ones. Flights out of the country have also been canceled, adding to the sense of chaos and isolation.Indiana resident Sofia Ramyar, 33, is one of them.Ramyar says that she hasn’t been able to contact her family, some of whom live in the capital Kabul. “The blackout has created a deep sense of isolation and has further silenced those already struggling to be heard,” Ramyar told NBC News. “This blackout has fully cut off the country from the digital world in a way we have never seen before.” Ramyar serves as an advisor to Afghans for Progressive Thinking (APT), a youth-led non-profit that focuses on advancing women’s rights and educational opportunities for girls. She added that the blackout has impacted her ability to serve those women, adding that her work “relies heavily” on online access and that the situation in Afghanistan continues to be “unpredictable.” “Their safety is always a concern,” she added. Naseer Kawoshger, 29, who left Afghanistan in 2020 and now works as a cashier at a grocery store in Chicago, said he has also been unable to speak with his family in Kabul. “When I sent a message to my sister, my brother, there was only one tick and I saw that the message wasn’t being sent,” Kawoshger said. “I don’t know what happened to my country, what happened to my family.”Aid officials have warned the blackout was hampering their operations in the country, which has been battered by a series of economic and humanitarian crises since the Taliban swept back to power in 2021 as the U.S. withdrew. The hardline Islamist regime has faced global criticism for its treatment of women, but has recently sought better ties with Washington.“Reliable communications are essential for our ability to operate, to deliver life-saving assistance, and to coordinate with partners,” Save the Children said in a statement Wednesday.Jay GanglaniJay Ganglani is NBC News’s 2025-26 Asia Desk Fellow.

Nov. 22, 2025, 6:00 AM ESTBy Doha MadaniThe National Women’s Soccer League final is set to be a grudge match between NY/NJ Gotham FC and the Washington Spirit, a fierce regional rivalry known for its high-energy play on the field. The East Coast opponents will meet at PayPal Park in San Jose, California, at 8 p.m. ET Saturday (CBS/Paramount+) in the culmination of a highly competitive season for the women’s league. It’s their fourth matchup this year, in what fans have dubbed the “District v. Empire” feud. Spirit defender Tara McKeown said after the semifinal that every time her team faces NY/NJ, “something crazy happens.”Emily Sonnett of NJ/NY Gotham FC clears the ball against Trinity Rodman of the Washington Spirit on Aug. 9.Rich Graessle / Icon Sportswire via Getty Images fileFor the Spirit, it is a chance at redemption after having fallen short in the championship game last year. Gotham, meanwhile, aims to prove the naysayers wrong after a major offseason shake-up. It will also look to avenge its loss to a Spirit team that knocked it out of contention last year in a nail-biting playoff semifinal that ended in a penalty shootout. Gotham defeated the Spirit 3-0 this season, and the following two matches this year ended in draws.The Spirit moved on from Gotham last year to play the championship game against the Orlando Pride after a strong season that ended riddled with injuries. It ended up as a Cinderella story for the Pride, which won its first title, but a devastating blow for the capital city’s squad. A roster full of talent has allowed the team to remain consistent even though it started its season without its 2024 NWSL Rookie of the Year, Croix Bethune, and with star forward Trinity Rodman struggling with injury through the year. Forward Gift Monday, who signed a three-year deal with the Spirit in March, has been an unexpected star for the team as she has led the squad with 10 goals in the regular season. Monday, 23, rejoined the team for the playoffs this month after having attended her father’s funeral in Nigeria. She scored in both of the team’s playoff games, dedicating the goals to her late father. Gotham’s road to the NWSL finals was paved with bumps as it navigated the loss of stars such as Lynn Biyendolo, Crystal Dunn, Yazmeen Ryan and Jenna Nighswonger during the offseason. It also started the year without national star Rose Lavelle and lost its captain, Tierna Davidson, to an ACL tear in the third game of its season. But the team was buoyed by Spanish national Esther Gonzalez, who was second in the NWSL’s golden boot race, and 2024 NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year Ann-Katrin Berger. Reconfiguring both its attack and its defense, Gotham has had something of an erratic year as it jumped up and down the standings. Though the team was third in the league in September, it dropped to eighth — the last spot for the playoffs — in November. Gotham defeated the Kansas City Current, the top NWSL team this year, in a shocking quarterfinal upset and went on to defeat the Pride on Sunday. Both games featured goals by midfielder Jaedyn Shaw, whom Gotham acquired from the North Carolina Courage in September in a record-setting $1.25 million transfer deal. Shaw called out Gotham’s doubters, saying “underdogs my ass” at a team news conference after the Current game. She told ESPN on Sunday after she scored a game-winning free kick that she was happy to be going to the finals with Gotham. “This team is so gritty; this team fights to the very end,” she said. “This team plays for each other, and it’s contagious.” Doha MadaniDoha Madani is a senior breaking news reporter for NBC News.
