[ToloNews] Germany has started a new programme to admit Afghans deemed most at risk following last year's Islamic Emirate takeover in Kabul, the interior and foreign ministries said on Monday.

The new programme will admit 1,000 Afghans per month and their family members. It targets particularly exposed Afghans who are active in women's and human rights

advocacy or those at risk for working in the fields of justice, politics, media, education, culture, sport or science.
Afghans who have experienced violence or persecution because of their gender, sexual orientation or religion can also benefit from the programme.

Germany will cooperate with civil society organizations to select and reach the targeted groups. The government plans to run the programme until the end of the legislative period in October 2025.
Berlin has not recognized the Islamic Emirate as a legitimate government since they took over Afghanistan in August 2021 as U.S.-backed foreign forces withdrew after two decades of war.
Compared to other EU member states, Germany has admitted by far the largest number of Afghan former local employees and other particularly vulnerable Afghans.
