Germany offers vulnerable Afghans cash to cease immigration efforts

Summary
Germany has suspended its resettlement program for Afghans at risk under Taliban rule and is now offering cash payments to those stranded in Pakistan if they agree to give up their plans to move to Germany. Around 2,000 Afghans had been approved to relocate but have been waiting for months or years. The program was halted by Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s government to signal a tougher stance on migration, amid rising public concern.

Those who already have legally binding approval to enter Germany will still be allowed in after security checks, but others are being encouraged to return to Afghanistan or move to a third country in exchange for financial support. Reports say the payments could total several thousand euros, prompting anger and disappointment among Afghans who fear for their safety and future under the Taliban.

The program originally aimed to help former staff of German organizations and people likely to face persecution, such as lawyers, journalists, and human rights advocates. Some Afghans have successfully sued the German government to secure their right to relocate, and a small group recently arrived in Germany under court orders.
