Germany organized a deportation flight of 81 Afghan men with failed asylum applications and criminal convictions. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt stated this demonstrates the governing coalition's commitment to deport criminals. The plan is to increase pressure on countries, though Afghanistan presents a complex challenge due to the Taliban's non-recognition. With around 377,000 Afghans residing in Germany, many as refugees, under 11,500 are registered for compulsory departure despite many being allowed to stay.
We have succeeded in organizing another deportation flight with convicted criminals to Afghanistan, with 81 Afghan men with failed asylum applications and criminal convictions on board.
This flight means that the governing coalition has made good on its promise. "We will start deporting people to Afghanistan and Syria, beginning with criminals and dangerous individuals."
Dobrindt spoke of a "policy shift" with reference to the 'repatriation offensive' and aims to put more pressure on countries to take back their citizens.
Germany has not officially recognized the Taliban as a legitimate government, complicating the situation regarding deportations.
