Germany has deported 20 people to Afghanistan on what was the first flight directly agreed with the Taliban since the militants’ return to power in 2021

    I’m pretty sure countries like Germany ask for guarantees like occasional checks on the well being of the deportees from the Taliban as a part of the deal. Since the Taliban desperately wants recognition, they’ll follow through with the terms.

      I guess the fact you’re “pretty sure” is encouraging. Along with “no evidence that these individuals are going to be tortured”.
      What we really need is ACTUAL evidence that they are NOT mistreated on their return. THAT is what is absent.
      Personally, I don’t see how Germany could care less once it’s no longer their problem.

        Because I’m not familiar with the specific terms to give exact answers, I’m just saying that this deal is very likely to follow the trend of similar deals that Germany made before
