Germany Resumes Deportations of Afghan Nationals

Germany deported Afghan nationals for the first time since 2021. The deported individuals were described as convicted criminals, though specific offenses were not clarified. This follows a deadly knife attack in Solingen linked to a Syrian asylum seeker, raising security and immigration concerns.

Germany has deported Afghan nationals on Friday, marking the first such action since 2021. A government spokesperson indicated that the deportees were convicted criminals but did not specify their offenses.

This move comes in the wake of a deadly knife attack in Solingen, involving a Syrian asylum seeker. The suspect, who allegedly vanished to avoid deportation to Bulgaria last year, is now held on charges of murder and terrorist organization membership pending further investigation.

The incident has heightened concerns about security and immigration policies in Germany.
