  "account": "The German government has allowed the Taliban to send more personnel to Germany to facilitate deportations to Afghanistan. The move aims to enable the issuance of documents required for deportations, as the Taliban are considered the de facto government in Afghanistan. Since the start of the current legislative period, 228 men have been deported to Afghanistan, mostly convicted criminals. The latest group of deportees, 23 people, was sent from Leipzig/Halle airport to Kabul on Tuesday. Germany does not recognize the Taliban as a legitimate government due to human rights concerns.",
  "summary": "The Federal Government is allowing a group sent by the Taliban to enter the country in order to facilitate more deportations to Afghanistan. A controversial decision.",
