Germany’s Afghan deportation policy sparks outrage over stranded returnees
The German government has faced criticism for its handling of Afghan deportees. Out of nearly 250 Afghans sent back to Afghanistan from Pakistan, only 22 have returned to Pakistan. The Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community (BMI) has been under scrutiny for its approach.
The BMI has only applied for visas to Pakistan for 53 of the deported Afghans. This has drawn criticism from Green Party lawmaker Schahina Gambir, who labelled the government's approach as irresponsible. She argued that the government should have made more efforts to ensure the safe return of all deported individuals.
The low number of returnees raises questions about the conditions in Afghanistan and the support provided to the deportees. The BMI has not yet commented on the criticism or provided an update on the situation of the remaining deportees.
The German government's handling of Afghan deportees has come under fire. With only 22 out of nearly 250 returnees, and visas sought for only 53, the BMI faces criticism for its approach. The government must address these concerns and ensure the safety and well-being of all affected individuals.
