Un blocked: Is the Syrian return of the Syrian sabotaged after the end of the war?

Deutschland - The Syrian Civil War has forced millions of people to flee in recent years and faced Europe with a wave of migrants. Germany in particular has taken up a large number of Syrian refugees after the then Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the borders for asylum seekers in 2015. Almost five percent of the Syrian population now live in Germany, supported by state aid such as citizens' money. With the end of the rule of dictator Bashar al-Assad, the way for a return of the Syrians now seems to be free. Nevertheless, there are resistances, especially of the UN that speaks against quick remigration. Shabia Mantoo, spokeswoman for the United Nations Refugee Commission, emphasizes that a return should only be voluntarily carried out, such as the Heimatkurier reported.

Another aspect is the existing “asylum industry” in Europe, which benefits from mass migration. Companies, NGOs and other actors who work in the care and accommodation of migrants earn in the expenditure that the state takes every month for refugees. These actors have an interest in the fact that the number of refugees remains consistently high and often campaign against hard remigration programs. The discussion about remigration is further fueled by political movements in various European countries that examine the asylum applications already granted and strive for a return.

struggle for Syria: a new beginning?

At the same time, a new political reality is formed in Syria. On December 8th, the Islamist HTS militia, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, also conquered the Syrian capital Damascus, known as Mohammed Al-Dscholani, plunging the Gashar al-Assad regime. International relationships also change with these rapid developments; A meeting between Al-Sharaa and the Unz-special Geir Pedersen in Damascus illustrates the complexity of the current situation. The agenda of the conversation was not only the humanitarian aid and economic support, but also the creation of a safe environment for the return of the refugees, such as the Tagesschau .

The new leadership of Syria faces the challenge of rebuilding the country economically and ensuring political stability. In particular, the HTS, which emerged from the Al-Nusra front and was long regarded as a terrorist organization, must position itself in the international community in order to reduce sanctions and receive support. Pedersen emphasizes that a political process that includes all Syrians is necessary to prevent the collapse of state institutions. It remains to be seen what influence these developments will have on the return of more than five million Syrian refugees. The path to a peaceful and stable Syria is rocky, but hope for a future is growing. The next few months will be decisive to determine the direction that the country and its people will strike to create a new order from the ashes of the war.
