Hope and fear: Syrian in Rhineland-Palatinate to Assad's fall

Bad Kreuznach, Deutschland - The fall of the Assad regime in Syria has triggered a wave of emotions in Rhineland-Palatinate, especially among the more than 50,000 Syrian refugees who live there. Integration Minister Katharina Binz (Greens) tries to dispel the concerns of many Syrians. On December 8, 2024, a historical date for the Syrian community, numerous refugees reported with questions about their residence status in Germany. Many fear that a visit to her home could have negative consequences for your stay, since a new security law stipulates that such trips are only allowed in special cases, which Minister Binz has already emphasized. She also appealed to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) to check the effects of the changing situation in Syria on the status of refugees, as well as the possibility of return to Germany, reported Rheinpfalz.

Mixed feelings and hope for peace

The Syrian community shows a mixture of joy and skepticism in relation to the future of its home country. Hasan Daoud, a Syrian doctor from Bad Kreuznach, expressed that he was happy about the fall of the regime, but has great doubts about the stability of the new political situation. "I am very skeptical of how things go in Syria. But I hope that I am wrong," said Daoud. Lina Kaalo, a Kurdish refugees from Kaiserslautern, also wants a free and democratic Syria, but is aware that the situation and the future of its country are still extremely uncertain, as SWR reported.

In the course of the news about the overthrow, many people celebrated in Rhineland-Palatinate, but they continue to plague fears because of the unclear future. Faiza Janbin, who has lived in Germany since 2015, describes her feeling as mixed: "I didn't know if I should cry or laugh", while others like Belal Suliman express their hope for a reunion with family members who were lost. These emotional reactions four weeks after the fall shed light on the complex mixture that currently shapes the fate of the Syrian community in Germany.
