AfD Kompakt, August 11, 2021.
Comes what must come. To recognize that, no secret service
reports need be studied. The Taliban conquer one city after another and they
will sooner or later capture Kabul. If Herr Röttgen (CDU) really thinks that this
may still be prevented militarily, then he is living in another world and with
his remarks he has placed himself on the off-sides of foreign policy. It will
be the task of the great neighbors Russia, China and India to work out a
solution of the conflict in Afghanistan, yet certainly not of the the West or
indeed of Germany.
More important than observing the sad developments there is
to direct a look at the foreseeable consequences for Germany and Europe and to
act prudently. There will be new streams of refugees, and experts thereby
figure that the number of Afghan migrants in Turkey could grow to a million by
the end of the year. Of these, the majority might attempt to come to Europe and
to Germany. It is thus right that the six EU countries Germany, Austria, the
Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and Greece, in a letter to the EU, urge further
deportations to Afghanistan. The AfD delegation in the German Bundestag also
demands of the Federal government to remain hard against domestic resistance
and to clearly reject the criticism of Luxembourg Foreign Minister Asselborn of
this conduct. Continued deportations of those Afghans who do not belong here
are the correct signal so as to prevent a new 2015.
Yet in parallel we expect of our Foreign Ministry that the
previous contacts with the Taliban in Qatar now in fact prove to be reliable
and that guarantees for the migrants deported from Germany will be demanded.
They should be able to return to their homeland, unharmed and secure from
persecution. German diplomacy has corresponding incentives for the future powers
in Kabul; namely, the continued and future financial support of Afghanistan
promised by the Federal government.
