Käßmann Criticizes Germany's Failure to Protect Afghans

The evangelical theologian Margot Käßmann has sharply criticized the German government for failing to uphold its promises to protect Afghan local staff and vulnerable individuals. Five years after the withdrawal of Western troops from Afghanistan, the situation for many Afghans who worked with these troops has become increasingly perilous. Käßmann urges the federal government to fulfill its commitments and provide safety for those affected. She describes the current situation as 'shameful for Germany' and appeals to the country's moral responsibility to assist those in danger.
