Some Afghans who worked with German troops face 'threat to lives', seek protection

Kabul:  Some Afghans who have worked with German troops in Afghanistan, especially in the north, have said they are facing threat to their lives.

They said such a situation may arise after the coalition forces leave the country in the next few months.

The Afghan contractors held a protest outside German troops’ base in the city of Mazar-e-Sharif, seeking asylum and protection, reports Tolo News.

One of them said he worked with German armed forces for nine years and that three of his colleagues who worked with the forces were killed.

“If the staff is not supported, it will not only be a concern for us but for our families too,” the contractor told Tolo News.

A small number of them who held a protest outside German troops base in Balkh chanted the slogans of “don’t leave us alone” in Deutsch, reports Tolo News.

“You have seen targeted attacks… We are concerned. We feel insulted in society. We are labeled wrongly for working with them [German armed forces],” Najibullah, a former Afghan contractor with German forces, told the news agency.

“Everyone’s safety should be ensured. Same should be for us as their former staff,” said Samad, a former Afghan contractor with German forces.

“Those who have worked with them [German forces] are all under threat. The security situation in Afghanistan is changing every day. Therefore, we are here to ask for our rights so that we get their response and their final decision,” an Afghan, who has worked with Germans, told Tolo News, requesting not to be named.
