Afghanistan International is a London-based 24/7 news channel that provides independent news coverage focused on Afghanistan.
Launched on August 15, 2021, the same day the Taliban took control of Kabul, the channel plays a critical role in providing uncensored news to the Afghan population and the broader diaspora.
Operating under Volant Media UK Limited, the channel broadcasts in multiple languages, including Persian (Dari) and Pashto, with content accessible via satellite and digital platforms. Since its inception, Afghanistan International has gained significant viewership due to its commitment to transparency and holding the Taliban accountable, especially as media freedom within Afghanistan has severely diminished under Taliban rule.
The Taliban has taken aggressive steps to suppress the channel, including jamming its signal and banning any communication with it. However, Afghanistan International continues to report on critical issues, such as human rights violations, women’s rights, and the growing humanitarian crisis in the country.
