Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Germany and its allies are
keeping troops in Afghanistan longer than planned to protect civilians
there, meaning people fleeing the war-torn nation have no right to seek
asylum in Europe’s biggest economy.
The continued military
deployment “means, of course, that we’re in Afghanistan so that the
people don’t have to leave Afghanistan,” Schaeuble said Wednesday in a
speech at a logistics congress in Berlin. “That’s why the people must
remain in Afghanistan, and when they come here, we must send them back
to Afghanistan. That’s always been the goal of the mission.”
