BERLIN (Sputnik) — Germany was set to send Afghan migrants who were denied asylum back to their homeland on Wednesday, however, the deportation was postponed as the powerful blast rocked Kabul, killing up to 90 people and causing damage to numerous buildings, including the German embassy. Daesh terrorist group claimed responsibility for the explosion.
"Personally, I believe that children and women cannot be deported to Afghanistan, this needs to be said clearly… In the light of yesterday events we cannot continue to deport, we should wait for the Foreign Ministry’s analysis on the situation in the security sphere and only after that decide within the framework of the further," Schulz said.
Afghanistan is experiencing political, social and security instability, mostly attributed to the activity of the Taliban (banned in Russia). The crisis in the country has prompted the emergence of local cells of additional extremist organizations such as the Islamic State (IS, also banned in Russia) terrorist group.
