Germany Deports 28 Criminals to Afghanistan Amidst Security Concerns

Germany has deported 28 convicted criminals to Afghanistan, marking the first deportation to the country since the Taliban took power in August 2021. The move has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that Afghanistan is not a safe country for returnees. The German government, however, insists that the deportees, who had no right to stay in Germany, posed a security risk. The government has stated that further deportations are planned despite the ongoing discussions about the safety of Afghanistan. The decision comes amid growing tensions over migration in Germany, where a recent terror attack in Solingen has fueled debate about stricter immigration policies.
