Precarious security situation: Green demand deportation for Afghanistan - Union refuses

2019-09-10T05:49:33.485Z


The federal police stopped their Afghanistan mission after a serious attack in Kabul. The Greens are now pushing to stop deporting migrants to the crisis country. But the Union contradicts.



The Greens demand a deportation ban for Afghanistan. "Even at the discretion of the federal government, the security situation in Afghanistan is too precarious to occupy the German embassy and now continue the use of federal police," said Omid Nouripour, the foreign policy spokesman of the parliamentary group, the editorial network Germany.

The politician referred to the provisional end of the training mission of the Federal Police in the crisis country. "Shutting down deportations right now is cynical and unacceptable," said Nouripour.

Union faction vice Johann Wadephul (CDU) refused a deportation stop, however. "There are still non-prosecution areas," he said. "We just postpone for close examination." A revaluation is not necessary.

The Federal Police and the German development aid organization GIZ had suspended their work for the time being after an attack on their accommodation in Kabul. The hard-to-secure accommodation in the so-called "Green Village" is no longer habitable, informed the Federal Ministry of the Interior on the weekend. SPIEGEL had reported exclusively on the decision.

At first, suicide bombers blew up his vehicle at the entrance to the camp. After that, a team of four invaders had invaded the "Green Village", it came to a several-hour battle with the guards of the camp, later also Afghan and international soldiers were requested for reinforcement. The attackers were killed. At least 30 people were killed by the car bomb outside the camp, during the hours of fighting a security guard of the Romanian ambassador, who also lived in the "Green Village", died. Five more security people from Nepal were killed.

Since 2002, the Federal Police have been carrying out a training program for the Afghan police in Afghanistan. In addition, the federal states are sending federal police officers for one year each. GIZ still operates throughout the country, but the individual development aid projects are operated locally by local staff.
