While many people around the world take internet access for granted, in Iran we have now experienced more than 2000 hours of internet shutdowns and restrictions.

For programmers, students, and competitive coders, this is not just an inconvenience. It means losing access to education, communication, opportunities, and connection with the world.

Many Iranian users on Codeforces are trying to study, practice, and improve their future under very difficult conditions. Sometimes even opening a simple problem or submitting code becomes impossible.

Please remember that behind every account from Iran, there is a real person trying to learn and keep going despite all of this.

We do not want sympathy. We just want the world to understand what is happening.
