'I Could Be Next': Afghans Fear For Future After Germany Announces Deportations

Germany deported several dozen Afghans in August -- all of them convicted criminals -- for the first time since the Taliban takeover in 2021. But the move has fueled panic among Germany's large Afghan community, many of whom fear they could be next as Berlin tightens the country's asylum policies and anti-immigration parties rise in popularity.

So they are panicking because of a single deportation flight in which a grand total of 28 people was deported, all of whom were grave or repeat offenders. Kinda makes you wonder...

[ironearth]

Where were those fighting age men when the Afghan government needed them to stop the Taliban.

[Kevin-mkjo]

I didn't hear them speak German and try to

[Kim-J]

If they are committing crimes, why would Germany or any country let them stay ? Not one of them is speaking German.

[susanwestern]

During these interviews none of them are speaking German. Just saying...

[maemilev]

They don’t seem to think clearly when they wave those silly Palestine flag for solidarity.

[BanditoBurrito]

Blame your fellow countrymen for ruining it for you, not the government. When you bring cavemen into a neighbors house for dinner, don't expect them to be understanding or forgiving.

where are the Afghan men to deal with the Taliban? Rise up and take back your country like a man.

I got kept as a Hostage in Hamburg, Klinikum Nord, please help me, brothers and sisters ❤❤❤❤❤

If these Afghans want to stay, they should do their best in being a contribution to the society and not cause problems for the Germans! If some of them are criminals, those who wish to stay, better should report that person to the police. Because when there is half a million refugees, drinking the money of the German population during an economic downturn and some of them do acts of criminality or terrorism, it will reflect badly to the whole group!

The deal was not to commit crimes in huge waves and to assimilate.. They failed with both.. Have a good flight home ❤

[JenomKoukam]

Unfortunately, your fellow countrymen commit disproposinal high crime compared to local population of Europe, actually to the extend, that these two cultures can not coexist, dont be mad at government...

Easy - You may stay under die following conditions:

1. Did you work for us during our time there? Yes? Good, you and your direct family are very welcome. We pay for your german lessons - but you do not have to pass any tests. We would recomment you and your family try to get to B2 at least, but take your time. We will take care of you - after all, you helped us, now its on us to do the same. Also, you will enjoy full social benefits + a bit extra as long as you go to your german classes. And as a bonus: The goverment will encourace companies to employ you and yours for the first 2 years after you passed a B1 German test - if you find a job before that time and you manage to pass a B1 test, you get 5.000€.
2. Did you work for the afghan goverment and were not corrupt - or at least not so, that we can proof it? Yes? You may stay, if you pass a German test A2 within 2 years. Do not worry, we pay for the lessons.
3. Are you a woman? You may stay, but alone. Max your kids may stay here as well. Also, you have to pass a German test A2 within 2 years. Do not worry, we pay for the lessons.
4. Did you work for a human rights organization in afghanistan during our time there? Yes? Good. You may stay, if you pass a German test A2 within 2 years. Do not worry, we pay for the lessons.

Everyone else - good luck and have fun. You fear they may kill you? Well, they promised us they would not. Ohh, you do not trust them? If only there were an international force in the country to protect you, help you build schools, fought the extremists ... if only the population would have supported this force ... if only. Say what - we will give you the rebel starter pack: One rifle and a bit of ammunition each. Good luck taking your country back - we wish you the best.

1:35 😂😂😂😂 "the anger" of Berlin...
15 people..

[darkwingduck]

Are you integrating into your host countries culture, or are you running a parallel culture? Does your parallel culture cause harm to your host country? Maybe help your host country help you instead of standing around shouting.

[Carma]

I don’t care. I’m sick of the west and Russia who spent their own 10 years in this black hole of country. Let them figure it out on their own.

[Veslefrikken]

Go back home.. We want to preserve ours for future generations.

[nostro]

Why do they demand Germany? They have Pakistan nearby. They are just greedy

[ryv]

You are lucky you are only getting sent home

[oliveryt]

There were 20 or so "deportations".
