Germany Deports Afghan Refugees: What Awaits Those Who Received Orders.

Ultimatum for Afghan Refugees

According to The Sun: An unsuccessful Afghan refugee, Bashir Kosar, received an official ultimatum: leave Germany by Tuesday or be deported.

With dreams of becoming a police officer in the country that took him in, the 19-year-old student admits:

“I am very scared. I have lost hope.”

Germany has tightened border security and started denying most refugees entry. The simplified process for obtaining citizenship has also been canceled.

Changing Attitudes in Germany

Bright and talkative, the young man who previously applied for asylum in Greece is now a victim of Germany's harsh measures against mass migration.

The proposal by British politician Nigel Farage to deport 600,000 refugees, including Afghans, is already being implemented: German repatriation flights have already started.

Amid decreasing economic indicators and rising crime associated with migrants, the attitude of Germans is changing.

The right-wing AfD party, which advocates for 'remigration,' now has around 25% support, getting closer to the largest party - the Christian Democratic Union.

Establishing New Rules

In July, Germany ignored UN recommendations and deported 81 Afghan migrants, all of whom had criminal records, including offenders convicted of serious crimes.

Activists are now concerned that unsuccessful refugees from Afghanistan, like Bashir, may be next in line.

“I believe there will soon be many flights even for those who have not committed a crime,”

Bashir, who lives in a refugee camp on the outskirts of Berlin, fears he may be sent back to Greece or even to his home country, which is currently under Taliban control, stressing:

“I will be in great danger if I am sent back to Afghanistan.”

German deportation flights are also heading to Nigeria, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Serbia, and Moldova.

Emphasizing new rules, Germany has abandoned the 'open door' policy implemented under Chancellor Angela Merkel and has tightened border controls.

The strengthening of the German border police by 3,000 officers has been approved.

At this moment, around 3.48 million refugees reside in Germany, of which 334,000 arrived in 2023.

Negative Changes in Attitudes Towards Refugees

German attitudes towards refugees have changed following a series of attacks, notably on New Year's Eve in 2015, when a group of men assaulted women, leading to mass complaints.

This became a reason for a 'paradigm shift' in attitudes toward refugees, confirmed social worker Franco Clemens:

“The culture of hospitality has been threatened. Many who supported it have begun to fear.”

Deportation flights continue to raise questions within German society, which seeks to control who is on its soil.

Meanwhile, the popularity of the AfD party is rising, and Chancellor Friedrich Merz needs to take additional measures regarding deportation.

“I have nightmares that I will be sent back to Afghanistan. I am even more afraid now that the Taliban are here in Germany,”
