{Germany gives cash incentives to those who will return to Afghanistan but only a few have accepted the deal.}<\/p>\n
Kabul – More than 200,000 Afghans have left their country in pursuit of a better life. But upon arriving in Europe, many of them are left disappointed.<\/p>\n
Faced with a cold welcome and the hardships of living in a foreign land, some are accepting cash incentives to return to Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
Ismail Usofzi, who spent five months and more than $7,500 getting to Germany, is one of them.<\/p>\n
“They gave me a document and it was written in red that I could be subjected to deportation and there were no guarantees of a bright future for me,” Usofzi told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n
He said he paid $7,500 to the smugglers and went to Germany for the future of his family.<\/p>\n
“It said it could take years for me to be accepted into society,” Usofzi said.<\/p>\n
He said he could not find work and could not get permission for his wife and three children to join him.<\/p>\n
In the end, he accepted a payment of $2,000 from the German government to leave and return home.<\/p>\n
However, of the 200,000 who fled Afghanistan, fewer than 1,000 have taken the cash deal to return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
