Afghanistan International online - Television live

Afghanistan International Live Stream

Afghanistan International is an Afghan news channel broadcasting from London in Persian and Pashto, covering the country for viewers inside Afghanistan and in the diaspora.

Afghanistan's news from London

The newsroom sits in London and its coverage follows Afghanistan: the country's politics, its society and its events, for viewers at home and for the large diaspora. The grid runs on news editions, current-affairs programmes and reports in both official languages.

Reporting under the Taliban

Since the Taliban's return in August 2021, Afghan newsrooms inside the country have faced restrictions on music, images of people and reporting on the insurgency. A channel working from London can carry material that domestic outlets cannot broadcast, but it depends on contributors inside Afghanistan for the reporting itself.

Two languages for one country

Broadcasting in Persian (Dari) and Pashto reaches both of Afghanistan's main linguistic communities, which have historically distrusted each other's media. That dual output is a practical necessity for any national service, and it is expensive for a small newsroom.

Distribution

The channel broadcasts by satellite and streams through its own site, reaching Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and the Afghan communities in Europe and North America.
