Germany deports dozens of convicted criminals to Afghanistan – POLITICO
Qatar arranged the deportation flight for the German government in order to avoid direct negotiations with the Taliban regime, new report said.
You're viewing a single thread.
Imagine what that has cost the tax paying citizens of Germany. All for guilt from 80 years ago.
Remember your past sure. Don't make the same mistakes again. Absolutely.
But to hold those people for that long, for "their own safety" is just bizarre.
Imagine any other country doing that?
Honesty, I'm all ears to hear why Germany should have spent all that money for all those years. Maybe I'm ignorant on certain facts. It's just so surreal to read though.
This has nothing to do with guilt from 80 years ago. What are you even on about?
This is being done because Scholz is a spineless wimp, trying to appease the far-right in an attempt to steal back votes from the AfD (which will not work and will only further alienate the SPDs voter base). It's a political move and the people being deported are being used as pawns.
You realize organizing a charter flight and bribes for Qatar are a lot more expensive than keeping 20-odd people in jail, right?
Saving money, not giving money to autocracies, and also saving human lives seems like a win-win-win to me.
What is the cost of 20 years in custody in Germany cost, per person. I'm going to guess not cheap.
Where are you getting 20 years from? Most likely, most of these convictions are either already past or sub-1-year convictions for stealing, drug offences, refugee-specific offences (like leaving town) or random other small shit.
In summer 2021, Germany halted all deportations to Afghanistan due to the security situation as U.S. forces pulled out of the country after 20 years while the Taliban swept back to power.
That sentence includes "20 years", so technically speaking, I guess you answered my question.
But the fact that the US was in Afghanistan for 20 years is entirely unrelated to the length of convictions.
It's literally in linked article.
There will be people that German citizens have paid to keep since then. That's a metric shit tonne of money for the tax payer.
I did a page search for "20 years" and there's literally no other mention than the completely irrelevant bit you quoted. So where is that number coming from?
Imagine any other country doing that?
Many other countries do in fact do that.
I don't think it's guilt from 80 years ago, I think most countries would do the same.
Keep them safe, or send them away?
