German media reports government transferred extremists in evacuation from Afghanistan
A German media outlet has reported that several dangerous Islamist extremists from Afghanistan have been brought to Germany as part of the country’s evacuation program.
Following the collapse of the Afghan government and the Taliban’s return to power, the German government had pledged to accept 45,000 at-risk individuals from Afghanistan. However, contrary to its initial commitment, a smaller number have been transferred to Germany.
The Welt newspaper reported that investigations revealed some radical Islamists, considered threats to Germany’s security, had entered the country legally.
After the threats were uncovered, the German government halted the evacuation process. Currently, thousands of individuals in neighboring countries are waiting for German visas.
These individuals were previously included in the evacuation list, but the German government has effectively suspended the process without providing them with any response.
The suspension came after an Afghan citizen in Mannheim, Germany, stabbed a police officer to death and injured several civilians. The attack sparked widespread reactions.
On Saturday, Business Insider also reported that the evacuation process was non-transparent, with people who faced no real threats being brought to Germany instead of eligible individuals.
Recently, Germany has started deporting “criminal refugees” from Afghanistan.
The situation of Afghan refugees remains dire, with many facing an uncertain future. The halt in Germany’s evacuation program has left thousands stranded in neighboring countries, with no clear path forward.
This delay adds to the existing humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, where severe poverty and lack of basic services continue to devastate lives.
Moreover, the ongoing expulsion of Afghan refugees only deepens their plight, forcing them back into a country gripped by instability and economic collapse. Urgent international intervention and transparent refugee policies are crucial to addressing this escalating crisis.
