Germany's new policy: Cooperation with the Taliban despite human rights violations

The German government has allowed Taliban diplomats to enter Germany to facilitate the deportation of criminals back to Afghanistan, despite concerns over human rights violations by the Taliban regime. This decision has sparked debate in Germany, with critics arguing it sets a double standard, as those seeking asylum were previously thoroughly vetted to ensure they had not collaborated with the Taliban. Hamid Nangijalay Kabiri, a former Afghan consul in Bonn who refused to cooperate with the Taliban, now faces threats and must seek asylum in Germany after being forced out of his home in Afghanistan. The German government justifies the move as necessary for practical reasons related to deportations, though it maintains it does not recognize the Taliban regime.
