Just days after German officials started passing out etiquette leaflets to migrants following a series of sexual assaults and other inappropriate behavior, a top German official warned Afghanistan officials that they must stop refugees from leaving the country.

Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière, while visiting the Afghan capital Kabul, said: “We’re staying here as long as it’s necessary. But we also expect that that the Afghan population stays here.”

De Maizière said many Germans are wondering why Afghans are still coming to Germany to seek assistance while Germany is providing funds and support for Afghanistan. 

We want the influx of refugees to be stopped.
Thomas de Maizière, German Interior Minister
