The German government and Afghan local staff are the two sides in this issue.
The German government, as the federal authority of Germany, has a fiduciary duty (Fürsorgepflicht) towards its current and former employees, which includes Afghan local staff who worked with German forces in Afghanistan.
Afghan local staff are individuals who were employed by German institutions in Afghanistan, such as interpreters and other support personnel, and who now face risks due to the Taliban's return to power.
After the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan in August 2021, the German government promised to bring all Afghan local staff to Germany.
However, many of these individuals are still waiting to leave from Pakistan and Afghanistan, raising questions about the fulfillment of that promise.
The German government has also revoked some Afghan admissions and tightened its resettlement policy, while offering cash to vulnerable Afghans to cease their immigration efforts, which conflicts with the expectations of local staff who were promised resettlement.
The stakes are high, as more than 250 organizations have urged Berlin to admit stranded Afghans, and the situation affects the safety and future of thousands of people.
The German government's approach to Afghan deportations, including potential direct talks with Taliban authorities, adds further complexity to the issue.

Supporters of the German government argue that its cultural commitment to Afghan local staff is upheld through orderly, security-vetted processing, preserving national legal standards even as delays strain that promise.

Supporters of Afghan local staff argue that Germany's promise was a pragmatic contract, not charity, and that stalled evacuations reveal where Berlin's real incentives lie.
