Listen "The Taliban's Internet Blackout"
Episode Synopsis
Internet and mobile services are being restored today across Afghanistan. Did the Taliban shut off access as part of an "immorality" ban? Or is something else happening? We delve into China's oil feud with the Taliban and examine potential reasons for this disruption. In Congo, former president Joseph Kabila has been sentenced to death for war crimes. But, where in the world is he? Plus: Israel intercepted an aid flotilla; Madagascar's president dissolved the government; the U.S. Congress shut down the government; and American farmers are paying the price for Trump's trade wars.
