Press Release: Handover of the Final Report of the Inquiry Commission “Afghanistan” to Bundestag President Bas
Berlin, January 24, 2025 – Representatives of the Inquiry Commission “Afghanistan” handed over the final report to Bundestag President Bärbel Bas today. The report summarizes the findings of the commission’s two-year investigation into the German military mission in Afghanistan.
The commission concluded that the mission was a failure. The German government underestimated the complexity and challenges of the situation in Afghanistan, and its goals were unrealistic. The mission was not able to achieve its stated objectives of stabilizing the country and preventing the Taliban from returning to power.
The commission also found that the mission was characterized by a lack of coordination and cooperation between different German government agencies and between Germany and its international partners. This led to a number of mistakes and missed opportunities.
The commission made a number of recommendations for future German military missions. It called for a more realistic assessment of the risks and challenges involved, and for a better coordination and cooperation between all relevant government agencies.
The commission’s findings have been welcomed by many in Germany. The Bundestag is expected to debate the report in the coming weeks.
