In Germany, a crackdown against illegal and criminal Afghan nationals has been intensified.

Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder has called for the strict enforcement of a deportation policy targeting illegally residing Afghans and those involved in criminal activities.

He said there will be no leniency for criminals and the Afghans who pose a threat to national security.

Due to the involvement of Afghans in serious crimes, Germany and other European countries have so far issued deportation orders for twenty-two thousand Afghan asylum seekers.
