Germany has deported 31 Afghan men to Kabul, with the federal government saying the removals are part of its efforts to expel foreign nationals who pose security threats.

According to the ministry, all 31 men were subject to enforceable deportation orders before being returned to Afghanistan.
Germany's Federal Interior Minister, Alexander Dobrindt, said the government would continue carrying out deportations to Afghanistan despite ongoing concerns over the country's security situation.
"Deportations to Afghanistan will be consistently continued. Anyone who threatens our security has no prospect of staying in Germany. Our society has a clear interest in ensuring that criminals must leave our country," Dobrindt said.
The latest deportation underscores Germany's tougher stance on migrants convicted of crimes or considered security risks.
The German government has maintained that individuals who endanger public safety should not be allowed to remain in the country, even as deportations to Afghanistan continue to attract international attention.
