Overview

  • The Interior Ministry says transfers by year‑end are hardly possible due to outstanding vetting and practical constraints, despite a mid‑December pledge to move eligible people quickly.
  • Pakistan warned it could detain and deport Afghans without valid visas from New Year’s Day, though local police sources indicated no immediate hard crackdown was expected.
  • Berlin has withdrawn admission promises for more than 600 people on the so‑called human‑rights list, stating there is no political interest in their entry.
  • Kabul Luftbrücke reports filing 217 lawsuits with 106 victories since September, enabling 756 departures, and a Dec. 22 charter to Hannover carried 147 people, most after court wins.
  • Government figures on those still in Pakistan vary, with references to roughly 300 with binding assurances or about 450 under support, while NGOs estimate closer to 1,500 and say about 230 urgent cases are pending in court.
