200 Afghans Transferred From Pakistan To Germany

Around 200 Afghan refugees were transferred to Germany from Islamabad, Pakistan, on Thursday, German media reported.

German media outlets wrote that these refugees were former colleagues of German forces in Afghanistan and were working as translators or drivers.

According to the details provided, these refugees fled after the withdrawal of NATO from Afghanistan and took refuge in Pakistan.

It has been said that there are women among the asylum seekers who were transferred to Germany and they arrived at Erfurt airport in Germany on Thursday evening.

As soon as they arrived, the Afghan refugees were welcomed by the staff of the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.

After the collapse of the previous government in Afghanistan, the German federal government had committed to move 1,000 at-risk Afghans to their country every month. However, the process of transferring Afghans at-risk has been delayed a lot.

Reports show that the German Foreign Ministry had accepted the request of a number of Afghans in danger, but after several security incidents in the country, it sent emails to Afghan immigrants in Pakistan to inform them of the rejection of many of their requests.

According to the announcement of the German Ministry of Interior, there are currently about three thousand Afghans at risk in Pakistan waiting to be accepted by Germany.

When asked whether the government had kept its promises to Afghans at risk, Germany's Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said that the number of refugees transferred was lower than promised. Faeser cited the reason for this delay as more security checks.
