Germany Allows Taliban Envoys to Facilitate Deportations
GERMANY, JUL 21 – Two Taliban consular officials will assist Germany with deportations of Afghan nationals convicted of serious crimes, following the deportation of 81 individuals last week, government sources said.
- In Berlin, the German government confirmed that two Taliban officials will assist deportations, with envoys assigned to the Afghan embassy in Berlin and the consulate in Bonn.
- Amid resumed deportations on July 18, Germany has maintained limited contact with the Taliban for migration concerns, and technical contacts have been facilitated by Qatar.
- Human rights observers say returning Afghans is inappropriate, Ravina Shamdasani said, and Germany’s UN ambassador warned that violations targeting women and girls isolate the country.
- Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt noted that deportations to Taliban-run Afghanistan are drawing attention across Europe, while Merz emphasized consular staffing does not imply recognition.
- Further flights are in the pipeline, Kornelius said, and Khaama Press reported that `This process is not completed with just one flight`.
