With one of the Federal Government A further 141 Afghans came to Germany on an organized charter flight. As a spokesman for the Federal Ministry of the Interior confirmed when asked, the plane landed in Hanover. After the takeover of power, those who arrived had Taliban received a confirmation of admission and now came from Islamabad to Lower Saxony. They will later be distributed to the federal states.
The people were part of the local staff process and the federal admission program. Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) had decided that, in principle, only people from these programs should enter the country. Acceptance commitments from other admission programs are no longer considered legally binding.
Pakistan actually only gave the federal government until the end of the year for the admission process. After that you will follow the people Afghanistan deport, it was said. However, the border with the neighboring country is currently largely closed.
The black-red coalition had ended admission programs
The Taliban took power again in the Afghan capital Kabul in August 2021. The federal government promised former local employees of German institutions and other people who were considered particularly at risk that they would be accepted into Germany. However, the current coalition between the Union and the SPD then agreed to end humanitarian reception programs “as far as possible”. Federal Interior Minister Dobrindt therefore had the promises of admission to Afghans at risk re-examined.
After a number of people from the so-called federal admission program Afghanistan
had successfully sued for the granting of a visa, entry into Germany was organized again for these people and for people with similar cases. Around 650 people from Afghanistan who had received promises via a “human rights list” and a so-called bridging list, recently received a final rejection from the federal government – combined with the offer to help them return to Afghanistan or leave for another country that is willing to accept them, including financially.
Nouripour appeals to the federal government
According to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the Afghans who landed in Hanover are 123 people from the federal reception program. There were 18 people on board the plane were allowed to enter as a former local employee or a member of a local employee. According to the information, there are now around 45 people in the local staff process in Pakistan and 264 people in the federal admission program.
The Green politician Omid Nouripour called on the federal government to send all Afghans who had once received a promise to bring to Germany. “It is shameful that many of those affected are forced to demand their rights in court after their acceptance of admission has been withdrawn,” said the Bundestag member. If they were to be deported, they would be left defenseless against the brutal terror of the Taliban.
