Over 1,300 Afghan refugees deported from Germany in a single year, 124 migrants arrested recently in Greece
2025-01-12
[KhaamaPress] German media reports have highlighted the continued deportation of Afghan migrants colonists from the country, with more than 1,300 Afghan asylum seekers being expelled in 2024 alone.

The Deutsche Welle (DW) news network reported on Wednesday, January 8, citing the German Ministry of the Interior, that a total of 1,361 Afghan refugees were deported from Germany in 2024 to Afghanistan or other countries.

The report further revealed that some Afghan migrants colonists were sent back to Afghanistan, while others were transferred to countries responsible for handling their asylum cases under the "Dublin Regulation."

The Dublin Regulation pertains to the management of asylum applications within European Union

member states. It stipulates that asylum claims must be processed by the country deemed responsible according to the regulation’s rules.

Additionally, German media has reported a noticeable increase in the deportation of asylum seekers in 2024 compared to previous years. Findings from Germany’s Bild newspaper indicate that deportations have risen by approximately 20% compared to 2023.

The German federal government began focusing on Afghan deportations after several Afghan migrants colonists with Death Eater Islamist ideologies were involved in violent mostly peaceful incidents within the country. This has raised concerns over security and migration policies.

As a result, the humanitarian crisis surrounding Afghan refugees continues to deepen, with increasing deportations leaving many vulnerable individuals in a dire situation. The urgent need for international cooperation and solutions to address the plight of these refugees is becoming ever more apparent.

124 refugees arrested on Karpathos Island in Greece

[KhaamaPress] On Wednesday, January 8, 124 refugees were arrested on the island of Karpathos, located in the eastern part of Greece. The Greek coast guard stated that 58 individuals were detained during an inspection near the island’s main port in the eastern Aegean Sea, while 66 others were apprehended in a remote area to the north of the island.

The coast guard reported that some of the detainees were found on land, while others were arrested from a speedboat without any identification markings.

Details about the identities of the detained refugees have not been disclosed. However, Turkey and Greece are key transit points for refugees and migrants from countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, and Iraq on their way to Europe.

Greek authorities attribute the rise in illegal migration from Turkey to Greece, and then to other European countries, to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

Last year, Greece reported nearly a 50% increase in illegal migrant arrivals, with Syrians making up the largest group.
