Two Afghan families in Kabul are struggling with uncertainty after being sent back to Afghanistan by Germany despite initial acceptance for relocation. A journalist visited the families to investigate their current situation after a two-year waiting period. The report highlights the difficulties faced by these individuals upon their return, following promises of assistance that appear to have not materialized. Details of their lives, and the reasons for their return despite prior acceptance, remain unclear. This raises questions regarding Germany’s refugee policies and the fate of those sent back to a country facing ongoing instability. The situation underscores the challenges faced by Afghans resettled – or rather, *re*-settled – in Kabul. Further investigation is needed to understand the extent of this issue and the support provided, or not provided, to these vulnerable families.
