Over 250 organizations call on Germany to admit stranded Afghans

In the letter published on Tuesday (09 December 2025), Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt and Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul are called upon to do “everything in your power” to make this happen.

“Bring the people to safety at last, those to whom we have promised protection,” the open letter to the German federal government stated. “Time is running out. Quite literally, every day counts.”

The letter is signed among others by the refugee organization Pro Asyl, the AWO Federal Association, the Paritätischer Gesamtverband (German Parity Welfare Association), and Bread for the World.
