KABUL - UNAMA chief called on Afghan po-litical parties to support the election process as it constitutes one of the fundamental aspirations of the people of Afghanistan. The head of United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), Tadamichi Yamamoto on Thursday said it is very easy to be skeptical about the elections, but what is important is that the Afghan people want their votes to be counted and respected. He called on Afghan political parties to support the election process as it constitutes one of the fundamental aspirations of the people of Afghani-stan. “It is very easy to be skeptical, but I think we should take this very seriously. Afghan people have come out in nine million numbers. It is a significant expression of the desire of the Afghan people to say that they would like their votes to be counted. We should respect this desire of Afghan people,” said Yamamoto. But, a number of political parties warned that they could resort to any number of activities unless the voter registration process is restarted. Jamiat-e-Islami ...(More on P4)...(3)

BERLIN - Following a range of scandals, which include a bribery investigation and a deportee sui-cide, the country’s Interior Min-istry and its refugee agency are under fire for illegally sending away an Afghan asylum seeker. He was one of 69 Afghans sent to Kabul from Germany despite his case still being reviewed.German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer, leader of the conserva-tive, Bavaria-based Christian Social Union, has admitted to procedural errors at his subor-dinate Federal Agency for Mi-gration and Refugees (BAMF), which lead to illegal deportation of a 20-year-old Afghan asylum seeker.According to Seehofer, the au-thorities misclassified the iden-tity of the man. As the adminis-trative court in Greifswald in the Northern German state of Meck-lenburg-Vorpommern stated, his asylum process was still being reviewed, so he should not have been deported.The BAMF announced that it wanted to bring the deportee back and initiate the necessary steps, according to agency spokeswom-an EleonorePetermann, as cited by the local broadcaster NDR. The BAMF contacted the lawyer of the asylum seeker, the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the German embassy in Kabul. Meanwhile, the case has been taken as an opportunity to “re-view and adapt” existing pro-cesses in the agency, according to the BAMF.The young man was sent back to Afghanistan at the begin-ning of July with a group of 69 Afghans, whom Germany had rejected asylum, although his ap-peal against last year’s rejection is slated for review in September. The Nuremberg authorities first sent the asylum decision on his plea to the wrong address. After that, the migration agency as-sumed that the asylum decision had been legally rejected and the man had filed his lawsuit against the ...(More on P4)...(4)
