<h3>冲突地区连接性的转变</h3>
<p>刚果 DRC 饱受冲突和基础设施薄弱的困扰，互联网普及率在全球范围内处于最低水平。根据国际电信联盟（ITU）的数据，截至 2023 年，只有约 30% 的国家人口能够上网。由于东部地区大面积受到武装冲突和复杂地形的影响，传统互联网服务的扩展几乎不可能。</p>

<h3>从禁令到批准：政府逆转立场</h3>
<p>2024 年 3 月，刚果军方官员禁止 Starlink，警告叛乱派系可能会滥用加密卫星通信以逃避侦查。该服务被宣布为非法，用户面临制裁威胁。然而，在经过数月的秘密讨论和对改善连接性日益增长的地区需求后，政府悄然改变了立场。</p>
<p>上周五，刚果 DRC 确认 Starlink 已获得全面运营授权，表示服务将在 “未来几天” 内开始。马斯克的公告紧随其后，标志着公司准备立即部署基础设施。</p>
<h3>在非洲的快速扩展</h3>
<p>Starlink 最近几个月在非洲加速推广，最近在莱索托和索马里获得批准或启动。现在已有超过 20 个非洲国家上线或在筹备中，该公司正朝着在整个大陆建立主导连接提供商的目标迈进。</p>

<p>SpaceX 的 Starlink 已获得在刚果民主共和国（DRC）运营的批准，此前政府撤销了之前的禁令。刚果民主共和国邮政和电信监管局授予了运营许可证，允许 Starlink 在一个连接率低的国家提供高速互联网。此决定是在对安全和叛军利用的担忧之后做出的，这些担忧导致了最初的禁令。Starlink 旨在改善冲突影响地区的通信，服务预计很快就会启动。该公司正在迅速扩大在非洲的业务，目前已有超过 20 个国家在线或正在推进中</p>

<p>SpaceX’s Starlink is now officially approved and will soon be going live in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), following a policy reversal by the Congolese government. The announcement was made by Musk himself in a brief post on X, stating, “Starlink is now available in Congo.”</p>

</div><p>This development comes after the DRC’s Post and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority granted Starlink an operating license late last week, making it the latest African nation to welcome the satellite internet provider. The move marks a significant shift from just over a year ago, when the government banned Starlink, citing security concerns that it could be exploited by rebel groups.</p>

</div><h3>A Turnaround for Connectivity in Conflict Zones</h3>
<div class="lb-trans"><h3>冲突地区连接性的转变</h3>
</div><p>The DRC, plagued by conflict and poor infrastructure, has one of the lowest internet penetration rates globally. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), only about 30% of the country’s population had access to the internet as of 2023. With large swaths of the eastern region affected by armed conflict and difficult terrain, traditional internet service expansion has proven nearly impossible.</p>

<h3>From Ban to Approval: Government Reverses Course</h3>
<div class="lb-trans"><h3>从禁令到批准：政府逆转立场</h3>
</div><p>In March 2024, Congolese military officials banned Starlink, warning that rebel factions could misuse the encrypted satellite communications to evade detection. The service was declared illegal, and users faced threats of sanctions. However, following months of backchannel discussions and increasing regional demand for improved connectivity, the government quietly shifted its stance.</p>
