As I reported last month, the government of Pakistan decided to deport more than a million illegal Afghan immigrants, due to the increase in suicide bombings in the areas where the Afghans reside. Sympathetic migrant-welcoming Germans lobbied to get the puir wee Afghan bairns accepted in Germany, and now the first tranche of new Afghan “refugees” has begun to arrive.

The article below refers to the government’s “obligation to protect Afghans”. But what about its obligation to protect native Germans from Afghans?

Oh, right, I forgot: no such obligation exists. Only “refugees” have rights.

Migration: 188 Afghans travel to Germany from Pakistan with promise of acceptance

The federal government wants to protect Afghans from mass deportations from Pakistan. 188 of them are now scheduled to arrive in Leipzig, and more could follow.

December 7, 2023

With a promise of acceptance in Germany, 188 Afghans from Pakistan have been flown to Leipzig. That was learned by the DPA News Agency from circles within the German embassy in the capital Islamabad. It is the first large charter flight from Pakistan with admitted Afghans in ten months. The majority of people are traveling under the federal admittance program, including former local employees.

The federal government has announced that it wants to protect Afghan refugees from mass deportations from Pakistan with a promise of admittance to Germany. In the beginning of October, the Pakistani government announced that refugees without residence permits would be deported. According to government figures, some 4.4 million Afghan refugees are in the country, 1.7 million of whom are without valid papers.

According to federal government figures, about 11,500 people from Afghanistan who have been promised acceptance are awaiting travel to Germany. Of those, some 3,000 are in Pakistan, 300 in Iran, and more than 8,000 in Afghanistan. Since the end of June, 573 have actually traveled to Germany. Relatives of Afghan journalists and activists have been criticizing the federal government for a long time for failing in its obligation to protect Afghans.

Among those eligible to enter the country, 572 also have a promise of acceptance under the federal admittance program. Through the federal admittance program, Afghans especially in danger due to their work for women’s and human rights or through their activity can come to Germany. The program would accommodate 1,000 Afghan women and men per month.
