Large amounts of development funds are being sent to Afghanistan, so one can expect the Afghans to remain in their country,” he said, adding that it’s impossible to qualify Afghanistan as a safe origin country, which is a reason to deny asylum requests.

“I’m therefore saying clearly today that those who come from Afghanistan as refugees cannot all expect to stay in Germany,”de Maiziere concluded.

The growing refugee crisis is sharpening debates over the migration policy in Germany.
