Signalling a shift in policy, Germany’s interior minister has said the need for mediators to negotiate with Afghanistan’s rulers is “not a permanent solution.”

German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has called for an agreement with the Taliban to receive Afghan convited criminals deported from Germany.

The Taliban took over Afghanistan’s government in August 2021 following the NATO withdrawal. Since then, Germany has not had official diplomatic ties with the Taliban government, which it did not recognize as legitimate.

Last year, Germany flew Afghans who had been convicted with crimes to Afghanistan. The deportation took place after secret negotiations with mediator Qatar.
