Twenty EU countries, led by Belgium's Minister for Asylum and Migration Anneleen Van Bossuyt, are urging the European Commission to facilitate the return of Afghan nationals living illegally in Europe. They express concerns over security and public trust in asylum policies due to the inability to deport Afghans since the Taliban's takeover in 2021. The countries demand prioritization of negotiations with the Taliban for a return policy, with a focus on dangerous individuals. Germany is considering a deal with the Taliban for deportations, despite UN criticisms regarding human rights violations in Afghanistan. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
