Berlin: A new group of Afghans who had been promised refuge in Germany arrived in the country on Wednesday, the latest to escape months of limbo in Pakistan.
An interior ministry spokesman told AFP that 28 Afghans landed at Hanover airport in the early afternoon.
The Afghans were accepted under a refugee scheme set up by the previous German government which was frozen after conservative Chancellor Friedrich Merz took office in May.
Since then around 2,000 Afghans have been stuck in Pakistan, where they have been threatened with deportation back to Afghanistan.
Some of those affected have mounted successful legal challenges against the German government, forcing the authorities to allow them entry.
