HANOVER: A group of 45 Afghans who fled the Taliban arrived in Germany on Monday after months of waiting in Pakistan until German court rulings forced Berlin to offer them refuge. The 10 families have been among more than 2,000 Afghans caught in limbo in Pakistan as Germany’s conservative-led government this year froze a program to offer them sanctuary. They arrived in Hanover on a commercial flight from Istanbul around 2:00 p.m. (1200 GMT), said an AFP reporter and the Airbridge Kabul initiative set up to help those affected.

Nach Monaten des Wartens in Pakistan kommen fast 50 Afghanen in Deutschland an. Mehr als 2000 Menschen warten darauf noch. Dobrindt will sich Zeit lassen.
