Sigmar Gabriel, German Vice-Chancellor and Economic Minister
This is another small step in a larger plan which Germany must take if she wants to try to avoid having a civil war. The question is, will Germany actually follow through on this? Additionally, if one of these Muslim countries says “no,” will Germany respond, and if so, with what measures? That will be the real test.
From Russia Today:
North African countries, such as Morocco and Algeria, must take back their citizens whose asylum applications are rejected by Germany, economy minister and Social Democratic Party (SPD) leader Sigmar Gabriel has stated.
“Germany is willing to economically help these countries, but only if their governments act fairly and let citizens who have no right to [be granted] asylum in our country enter their territories,” Gabriel said in an interview with the ARD ‘Tagesthemen’.
“It cannot be that one receives [development] aid, but does not accept back its own citizens who can’t get asylum in our country because they simply have no reason to flee their country,” Gabriel added.
The comment comes after public outrage over a rash of shocking attacks on women on New Year’s Eve in the western city of Cologne, blamed on North African and Arab migrants. The Cologne attacks gave rise to over 670 criminal complaints, at least 330 of those relating to sexual violence, according to AFP.

“A good case can be made for placing migrants from the North African region without a chance of staying [in Germany] in repatriation centers,” an official from Seehofer’s Christian Social Union, Thomas Kreuzer, told Welt am Sonntag.
