Germany to send Afghan refugees back - DW

German Interior Minister de Maiziere has announced a stricter refugee policy that would return most Afghan migrants. He also called for a swifter deportation of asylum seekers from the Balkans.
On Wednesday, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere announced that most asylum seekers from Afghanistan and "tens of thousands" from the Balkans will be sent back, in a toughening of Germany's refugee policy.

"The number of repatriations, voluntary returns and deportations will rise significantly," de Maiziere expects.

More migrants are now coming to Europe from Afghanistan than any country other than Syria, a situation that de Maiziere deemed "unacceptable." Among them, he noted, are many members of the middle class and residents of the Afghan capital Kabul who "should remain and help build the country up."

De Maiziere added said that the Afghan government shared this view.  Germany has recently announced an extension of its troop commitment in Afghanistan in the NATO attempt to maintain a stable state there.
