The acknowledgment ends weeks of silence from Brussels over plans for a Taliban delegation to visit the Belgian capital before summer, at the invitation of Sweden and the Commission, for discussions on Afghan returns.

That just seems like sound politics.
People should talk…right?
Right?
Sure thing, but you’ll have to be more specific than “people” if you want the Taliban to bring any women.
You only make peace with your enemies.
Is there a big push in the EU to expand deportations or something? Since this article seems to indicate that’s a focus of the talks on the EU side. I read something similar as an aside on the news that the suspended cooperation agreement the EU has with Syria is being revived, that said they were looking to send 80% of Syrians back or something like that.
That 80% figure came from Friedrich Merz in a press conference with al-Sharaa. It’s apparently roughly the percentage of Syrian refugees in Germany that don’t yet have a more permanent status and could conceivably be “sent back”.
It’s also frankly ridiculous, because that number represents a theoretical maximum of people that could be “sent back” (I hate this polite euphemism, so let’s call it what it is: deported), not a realistic goal number.
At least in Germany asylum seekers have to be judged on a case-by-case basis, considering individual circumstances, so a blanket statement of “x% of Syrians will get deported” is far-right populist bullshit. Not that they won’t try of course…
Trolly Ban shall not enter. To west south of Afghanistan is Al-Bhagistan, a prime example of consequences of letting this rot in.
