Germany announced a temporary halt on admissions of asylum seekers from Afghanistan after claims that some migrants may have been abusing the system.
Since Afghanistan fell to the Taliban in the summer of 2021, Germany has issued over 28,600 visas to Afghan nationals, with around 30,000 Afghans being able to enter Germany, a number shy of the promised 44,000. At least 4,100 are said to be Afghans who worked for Germany’s armed forces or were locally employed staff for various aid groups.
While the German government has remained tight-lipped regarding the potential abuses in the asylum process, there was a similar case reported in 2020 involving the Swedish embassy in Islamabad.for Afghan nationals to work in Sweden, with the man’s activities investigated after authorities suspected in 2019 that he may have been linked to people smuggling networks.
The British government said it knows how many Afghans airlifted to the UK were on watch lists or had previously been deported from the country — but insists it is not in the public interest to reveal it.
