Afghanistan: For the time being, no charter flight for Afghan refugees

In the next few days, no further recordings of Afghan refugees from Pakistan will be expected by charter flight. The German press agency found out from security circles for a flight originally announced for this Wednesday, which was why it was no longer provided by the responsible bodies, which is why it was to be assumed that it would not be assumed that it would not take place.

So far, no preparations would have been made for a further planned further charter flight in the next two weeks. First “Bild” had reported on the preliminary stop of the flights.

The German Embassy in Pakistan takes care of the granting of the visas for former local forces of German institutions as well as for Afghans, which are considered to be particularly at risk. Several authorities from the business area of ​​the currently SPD-led Federal Ministry of the Interior are involved in the mandatory security checks and the admission of refugees in Germany.

Union politicians had criticized the continuation of the recordings by the executive federal government. In the CDU, CSU and SPD coalition agreement, it says: “We will end voluntary federal recording programs as far as possible (for example Afghanistan) and do not set up any new programs.”

At Leipzig/Halle Airport, a plane with 138 Afghans had landed last Wednesday, which had received an admission of admission.

Previously there had been several similar flights this year with a total of 461 people from Afghanistan. According to the Federal Foreign Office, around 2,600 particularly endangered people from Afghanistan are currently waiting in Pakistan to admit their admission in Germany.

In addition to former local forces of German institutions and their relatives, Afghans are also said to be admitted that the persecution of Islamist Taliban must fear, for example because they have been committed to lawyers or journalists for human rights in the past.

The Greens MP, Shahina Gambir, says, given the current mass deportations of Afghan citizens from Pakistan to Afghanistan, it is more urgent than ever to plan refugee Afghans with an commitment from Islamabad to Germany.
