"We are about 1200 recognized refugees from Eritrea and have a legal right to family reunification. Nevertheless, our children and spouses have to wait years in politically unstable third countries such as Sudan and Ethiopia for family reunion and our families have been painfully separated for many years."
"We call on the responsible German authorities to recognize the unreasonableness of obtaining documents from Eritrea and to accept instead individual proof of family membership (for example, existing church/Islamic documents or family photos)."
We call on the embassies and the foreigners authorities to give priority to applications for family reunification. The long waiting and processing times must be shortened."
