Germany has commenced the deportation of Afghan nationals for the first time since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 2021.
The shocking change of pace comes as the Country is set to hold two elections on Friday, and faces mounting pressure to deal with the rising crime brought by the untill-now unchecked migrant community.
Early Friday morning, a chartered Qatar Airways flight departed from Germany, transporting 28 Afghan nationals back to Kabul. According to government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit, these individuals were all convicted offenders.
“These were Afghan nationals, all of whom were convicted offenders who had no right to stay in Germany and against whom deportation orders had been issued,” Hebestreit said in a statement.
Photos circulated on X showing the busses taking the migrants to the planes to be loaded.

Germany is currently grappling with increasing pressure to manage its migrant crisis. This urgency has intensified following a series of serious criminal incidents. Most notably, a Muslim migrant went on a horrific stabbing spree, killing three, at a “Diversity Festival” in Solingen earlier this month.
The killer shouted Allahu Akbar as he committed the attack.
Additionally, in May, a police officer was fatally attacked by a 25-year-old Afghan national, further igniting public concern and governmental scrutiny regarding immigration policies.
In response to these growing safety concerns, Chancellor Olaf Scholz vowed his commitment, back in June, to begin deportations of Afghan and Syrian nationals who have criminal records. The government's recent actions appear to be aligning with this pledge.
