Whew, some good news for a change!
Just spoke to an Afghani friend (in Australia) who said the internet is back across Afghanistan since Wednesday, and incoming flights resumed just in time for some medication he’d sent to a relative to reach her before the last of the previous batch ran out.
It was looking terrifying for a while —for three days, *all* mobile calls were cut, domestic and international, not just data over mobile.
