Germany is planning to return 100,000 rejected asylum seekers to their home countries after Angela Merkel admitted: 'It cannot be that all young people from Afghanistan come here'.

About 60,000 will be returned under voluntary repatriation programmes while the rest face compulsory deportations, the German chancellor revealed.

They will be given money as 'start-up' aid to help them resettle in their homeland as well as a plane ticket, it has been reported in Germany.

According to Die Welt, Merkel made the announcement at a Christian Democratic Union (CDU) regional conference in Neumünster, northern Germany on Friday.

Referencing Afghanistan, the 62-year-old is said to have told members that 'it cannot be that all young people from Afghanistan come to Germany'.
