Relocation of People or Animals - Minister spearheads deal on forced removal with nearby Afghan countries.
Pakistan is sending individuals to Afghanistan due to national safety concerns. "They don't wish to have the Taliban's terrorism within their borders as well." There are also other neighboring states that see it that way. "If these nations deport, we can join," he said.
In principle, Maier finds deportations to the Taliban-controlled country acceptable. "I believe the security situation isn't so bad throughout the nation that you couldn't send anyone there," said the responsible minister. Germany's safety objectives are more crucial than the security interests of extremists.
The debate over deportations to Afghanistan was sparked by the purported Islamist assault of an Afghan in Mannheim. The man, who had fled to Germany as a teenager in 2013, injured five attendees of an anti-Islam event by the Pax Europa group and a police officer with a knife last Friday. The officer later died from his injuries.
