Germany will pay in advance to Afghan migrants to stay in their homeland

Germany plans to offer funds to Afghan refugees temporarily residing in Pakistan to encourage them to return to their homeland, AtlasPress reports.

According to the information, the relevant initiative was proposed by the country’s Ministry of Internal Affairs to prevent even more migrants from entering Germany. In particular, Afghan citizens temporarily admitted to Pakistan as part of the resettlement program received letters from the German Migration Office.

In their appeal, the authorities promised an initial reward of 10,000 euros for refusing to immigrate and returning to Afghanistan. Furthermore, to facilitate their departure from Pakistan, migrants are being offered an additional 2,500 euros. It is noted that in one of the private cases, a family of 4 foreign citizens was promised 2750 euros immediately and another 11,500 euros after returning to their homeland.

A representative of the country’s Ministry of Internal Affairs stated that such measures are aimed at supporting migrants who have no chance of obtaining permanent residence in Germany. The department also reported that people will be given prospects for the future so they can make a “realistic” decision about their lives.

Earlier, it was reported that Afghan refugees in Uzbekistan were hanging. People remain in a semi-legal status, without full access to housing, food, and healthcare.
