Germany has resumed deportations to Afghanistan, with 81 Afghan nationals being sent back to their home country on Friday. The deportation effort was led by the German Interior Ministry and marks a significant shift in the government’s migration policy.
The move comes after talks between Berlin and the Taliban government, which Germany does not officially recognize. Critics have voiced concerns about the human rights record of Afghanistan, but the government insists that deportations will be carried out safely.
As part of the deportation effort, the Afghan nationals received up to €1,000 in cash to cover their initial expenses upon return. The government has stated its intention to continue deporting people to Afghanistan, starting with those who pose a threat or have a criminal record.
The deportation effort is the latest development in Germany’s migration policy, which has been subject to controversy and criticism. The government has faced accusations of prioritizing deportation over humanitarian concerns.
