| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Interior Minister of Germany Thomas de Maiziere has warned that many Afghans seeking asylum in Germany will be deported to Afghanistan, insisting that the majority of the asylum seekers from Afghanistan are seeking better economic prospects. De Maiziere visited Kabul ...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... on Monday to hold talks with the Afghan officials regarding the issue of Afghan asylum seekers as more than 150,000 Afghans have applied for asylum last year. According to De Maiziere, many asylum seekers from Afghanistan are seeking better economic prospects as they are deceived by the human smugglers who are making large sums of money. He also added that the asylum seekers whose applications are rejected by the authorities in Germany should return to the areas deemed safe in Afghanistan. De Maiziere said the current laws of Germany allow the failed asylum seekers to claim for their return flights. "Of course, the security situation in Afghanistan is complicated. But Afghanistan is a big country. There are unsafe and safe areas there," De Maiziere told the local newspaper, DPA. The considerable growth in the number of asylum seekers forced Germany to launch a campaign in capital Kabul last year in a bid to deter the flow refugees from Afghanistan. Several posters appeared in the populated parts of the city today, delivering Germany's message in both Dari and Pashto languages. "You are leaving Afghanistan: Are you certain?" reads the message posted on one of the billboards, while a short statement posted on the Facebook page of the campaign, reads "Do not believe the rumors and false information deliberately spread by human traffickers about the allegedly easy trip and the easy life in Germany. Do not risk your lives by trying to flee to Europe. Human traffickers are criminals who are only interested in money. They don't tell the truth and don't care about human lives." |
