Future Consideration of Deporting Convicted Syrian Nationals
In a series of recent comments, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has expressed his concerns and opinions on the ongoing situations in Syria and Afghanistan.
In Syria, Wadephul has voiced his worry over the recent unrest in the Druze regions and has emphasized the importance of giving the transitional government a serious chance to improve the country's situation. He has also suggested that if Syria continues to develop in a certain direction, it may be possible to cooperate and deport convicted Syrians. However, Wadephul has acknowledged that the current security situation in Syria remains unstable, with ongoing conflicts in several regions and fragmented control, making the prospects for safe and sustainable return of convicted Syrians in the near future challenging.
In Afghanistan, Wadephul did not emphasize the need for all population groups and religious groups to be integrated and protected from harm in the current conversation. He did express some reservations about the scope in which previous decisions for Afghans were made, but did not call on the transitional government to ensure that no one fears for their life. Notably, Wadephul announced an end to new recognitions for resettlement programs for Afghans, stating that the deportation of convicted Afghans back to Afghanistan would only be possible if the security situation improves.
On a positive note, Wadephul has confirmed that the Federal Republic of Germany will take in Afghans who have positive decisions in their hands, provided there are no security reasons against it. He has also urged the transitional government in Syria to work towards integrating all population groups and ensuring the safety of all religious groups.
In response to the current debate on the resettlement programs for Afghans initiated by the traffic light government, Wadephul has stated that the resettlement programs for Afghans will no longer accept new recognitions. He could not confirm the number of 2,300 people who will still come to Germany, stating that it is not certain.
Wadephul's comments come at a critical time, as both Syria and Afghanistan face significant challenges and uncertainties. His statements highlight the need for careful consideration and strategic decision-making in the face of these complex issues.
