The German Foreign Ministry has reported that 211 Afghans, who were approved for resettlement in Germany, were deported back to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan from Pakistan, where they had been living temporarily. The Ministry is in contact with Pakistani authorities to facilitate their return to Pakistan. Accommodation for the deportees in Afghanistan was arranged. More than 2,000 Afghans who received promises of admission from Germany are still awaiting departure from Pakistan, including human rights defenders and former local staff of German institutions. Germany's government has paused resettlement plans amid a tougher migration policy.
On Monday, the German Foreign Ministry confirmed the deportation of 211 Afghans, approved for resettlement in Germany, back to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan from Pakistan.
The deportees had been temporarily living in Pakistan, and now the German Foreign Ministry is coordinating with Pakistani authorities for their return to Pakistan.
Over 2,000 Afghans, including human rights defenders and former local staff of German institutions, are still waiting to emigrate to Germany, fearing Taliban persecution.
Germany's pause on resettlement plans reflects its new government's tougher stance on migration, further delaying the process for many vulnerable Afghans.
