Deportation flights to Afghanistan: Federal Government is planning measures despite concerns
Solingen, Deutschland - A deportation freight to Afghanistan marked a new step in Germany's controversial asylum policy on Friday, August 30, 2024. From Leipzig/Halle Airport, 28 Afghan citizens, who were all convicted, were flown to Kabul. This return has been the first since Taliban's takeover in 2021 and is presented by the federal government as a necessary measure to increase security in Germany. Government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit confirmed that the deportation had prepared for two months in advance. Among them were people who were classified as dangers by the security authorities, which fueled the discussion about human rights violations in Afghanistan.
complex situation
The planning of future deportation fees is difficult for the German government. Lifetime said that another flight before the upcoming Bundestag election on February 23, 2025 was unlikely, since there is no diplomatic representation in Afghanistan and numerous factors such as landing permits and cooperation with third countries have to be taken into account. A spokesman for the Interior Ministry made it clear that exact dates for deportations cannot be mentioned in advance so as not to endanger the safety of the flights. While critics, especially of the Greens, warn of the recognition of the Taliban regime, interior ministers from various federal states have the need to attribute serious criminal and Islamist endangers from Germany.
The return of the 28 men was not only a test for the vote among the federal states, but also for working with neighboring countries. In this context, the Federal Government emphasized that discussions with these countries are already well advanced. In view of the worrying security situation in Germany and an increase in Islamist acts of violence, as recently after a knife attack in Solingen, Chancellor Olaf Scholz sees a need for action and calls for consequences. The question also arises as to how effective the previously measures of the authorities were to prevent attacks.
