On the first anniversary of the takeover of the Taliban in Afghanistan, demonstrations took place in many cities under the motto "Don't Forget Afghanistan". In Berlin alone, an estimated more than 2,000 people moved from the Federal Foreign Office to the Federal Chancellery.

The demonstrators, including representatives of Terre des Hommes partner organizations and Terre des Hommes employees, demanded that the German government provide swift and unbureaucratic assistance. To this end, they called for an airlift for the promised immediate admission of former local staff and their families, some of whom remain in the country. They also appealed to the German government not to forget the Afghan civilian population and to provide financial support to combat the famine in the country through international and local non-governmental organizations.

A wide alliance had called for the demonstrations, which, among other things, belonged to terre des hommes , the Initiative Seebrücke and Pro Asyl.
