BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany will now deport to Afghanistan only criminals and people it considers a threat, after a bombing in the Afghan capitol of Kabul killed at least 80 people, Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Thursday.

 

Merkel's government began mass deportations of Afghans in December, after taking in more than a million refugees since the summer of 2015. Human rights groups objected, saying the Afghans were being sent back to a dangerous country.

 

That argument gained strength after a truck bomb blew up in the diplomatic quarter of Kabul on Wednesday. Among the roughly 350 injured were two German embassy employees. An Afghan security guard at the embassy was killed and the embassy itself was badly damaged.

 

Merkel said deportations would now be considered case by case. Criminals and those deemed a threat - including people who refuse to reveal their identity - would be sent back. People who want to return to Afghanistan of their own free will be allowed to return.

 

"The (foreign and interior) ministers aim to submit this new assessment by July at the latest," Merkel told reporters.

 

Some 3,300 Afghans returned of their own volition last year. Sixty-seven people were deported to Afghanistan last year and more than 100 have been deported so far this year.

Sticky wicket there...

 

Don't want to get deported?  Call your uncle back home and have him bomb some innocents.

 

Wonder if that would work for all refugees in Germany?

Can't deport them to a dangerous country, let them stay and make their new country dangerous.

It's okay. Germany will just try and dump these Afghans onto Poland and Hungary.  At least that's what she will tell her voters.  More virtue signalling from Beer Belly Merkel, who doesn't personally face the consequences of her actions.

Of course if all those ignorant slav countries had accepted the quotas Merkel ordered this would all be good. Germany created the problem for Merkel's vanity (Nobel Prize, St. Angela, Her values we must all adopt etc) and she's still pissed other countries just didn't do as ordered. 

Now she'll use the EU Commission to punish those who don't fall into line. Getting mouthpieces like Juncker or silly Luxembourg to issue threats of suspension or even expulsions for those who don't snap to attention. Or putting them on a "second tier" among members.

I reckon all countries should have the right to expel those who move there but spend their time criticising, denigrating and negatively stereotyping.

They arent contributing anything

A very fair and balanced policy.

These are immigrants that were allowed into Germany and have the same rights and liberties as do natural German citizens. If one looks at the history of Germany prior to formation of East Germany and after German reunification one finds it has been the German citizens themselves who have brought danger to the national security of the country.
