After 88 days of blackout, the internet is finally beginning to return. According to NetBlocks, around 86% of people now have access again - something that felt almost impossible not long ago.

But this is still far from normal life. Heavy restrictions and filtering remain, and no one knows how long this fragile access will continue or when it could disappear again.

What these months have done to people is difficult to fully describe. Businesses built over years have collapsed, many workers have lost their jobs, and the emotional and psychological weight forced onto people during this silence has been immense. The scale of the damage caused by this shutdown is truly hard to comprehend.
