Germany Deports 28 Afghan Nationals Following Taliban Takeover in 2021

ai generated text

Germany has deported 28 Afghan nationals back to their homeland for the first time since August 2021, when the Taliban took power in Afghanistan. The deportations were carried out on a chartered Qatar Airways flight from Leipzig airport to Kabul. German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser stated that the move was a security issue for Germany, while Chancellor Olaf Scholz described it as a clear sign that those who commit crimes will be deported. The deportations came after a deadly knife attack in Solingen, and are seen as a symbolic gesture before elections. It is unlikely that this move will lead to a wider thawing of relations between Germany and the Taliban, given that Germany does not have diplomatic relations with the Taliban.

    1. Due to its continued propaganda, effective immediately, the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice will not provide any support or cooperation with UNAMA (United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan), which will be considered an opposing side.
    1. The security interests of Germany clearly outweigh the claim for protection of criminals and individuals endangering national security.
    2. These were Afghan nationals, all of whom were convicted offenders who had no right to stay in Germany and against whom deportation orders had been issued.
    1. It is a clear signal: Those who commit crimes cannot count on us not deporting.
    1. We all have human rights – and no one should be deported to a country where there is risk of torture.
