The Afghan deportation drama
from www.thehindu
27-02-2017 - Their asylum applications rejected, Afghan refugees in Germany face an uncertain future as they fear deportation now more than ever“I’m forced to hide myself,” says Wazir (23), a refugee from Afghanistan. After an aggravating trip through Eastern Europe, he had arrived in Stuttgart in September. When he applied for asylum, Mr. Wazir hoped to build a new life in Germany, leaving war, poverty and destruction in Afghanistan behind.
It didn’t work out that way. In January, Mr. Wazir’s asylum request was rejected by the authorities. Fearing that he would be deported soon, the young Afghan secretly left his refugee home and is hiding at an unknown place. “I cannot sleep well. Every night, I fear that the police will find me and send me back to Afghanistan,” he says.
Mr. Wazir’s relatives — some of them living in the country for many years and now German citizens — help him as much as possible. “When we arrived in Germany, we were welcomed warmly. Nobody even thought about sending us back. It’s sad that this has changed,” says one of Mr. Wazir’s cousins. “In Afghanistan, it’s not much different than in Syria or Iraq. So why are they just deporting Afghans?” wonders another relative. Both of them didn’t want to be named.
Those like Mr. Wazir have enough reasons to worry. In the last two months alone, the German government has deported 78 Afghan refugees, all sent back through charter flights. More deportation flights are in store….
