Beware of scammers!
Kabul Luftbrucke does NOT have any authority to grant admission of approval to anyone. If you hear or witness anyone making such statements, it is fake! Here is just one example of many:
One year after our first flight
Our first evacuation mission started a year ago. With the help of a chartered Airbus A320, we wanted to fly 170 threatened Afghans out on the night of 28-29 August 2021. Our plane took off with only 18 people. Our first evacuation had failed in large parts. But we kept going. Our first flight was not to be our last. On 13 November, our second charter flight took off and 148 people who had been persecuted by the Taliban were evacuated. Even though our name stands for evacuations by air, we evacuated most people by land, often by bus to Pakistan. And we are not stopping. Since our first flight in August 2021, we have helped 2713 people leave Afghanistan safely and legally.
One year after the regime change in Afghanistan
Mohammad G was a prosecutor in Afghanistan, tackling gangsters and warlords. He had worked his way up as a member of the ostracised Hazara ethnic group, like all his siblings. An associate of the hated judiciary and a Hazara - this made him a doubly worthwhile target for the Taliban. When armed men slashed his mother's face after the Taliban victory, it was clear that the family would not only have to go underground. It was clear that they all had to leave the country and find a new, safe home. Without the Taliban. You can read about how the Kabul Airlift helped them at the Bosch Foundation.
One year Kabul Luftbrücke – We are still evacuating!
On August 12th we want to invite you to spend the afternoon and evening with us at about blank! We would like to use this time together to network, get to know you and say thank you to our growing community of allies, supporters and evacuees.
MISSION Kabul-Luftbrücke
"MISSION Kabul Luftbrücke" documents how former local forces manage to leave the country, how children hope to be reunited who were separated from their parents while fleeing, and how young women decide to no longer bow to the Taliban's rules. MISSION Kabul Luftbrücke in the Media Library
An interview about the loss of home
"For many people, losing their home is unthinkable. However, it is a reality for many people. To make the reality of these people's lives more tangible, Alex Bühler spoke to the Taiman family for us."
Ten-point plan: Germany must stand by its responsibility and rescue persecuted people
"We must not forget the people who have stood up for a liberal Afghanistan every day. All those who do not conform to the Taliban's world view must fear for their lives. They must be saved, regardless of whether they have a direct connection to Germany or not!"
