The situation of Afghan refugees in Pakistan remains precarious, with many seeking resettlement in countries like Germany due to the ongoing instability and security threat in Afghanistan.
The situation for Afghan refugees in Pakistan remains dire, with many facing an uncertain future. Thousands of Afghans who fled their home country after the Taliban’s takeover in 2021 are living in precarious conditions, often without legal status or proper documentation. Many are at risk of deportation, as Pakistan has been tightening its policies regarding Afghan refugees.
Without resettlement to third countries like Germany, they face the constant threat of being forced back to Afghanistan, where security and human rights conditions remain volatile. This ongoing uncertainty heightens their vulnerability, making their transfer to countries offering refuge an urgent priority.
