flag Germany offers incentives for Syrians to return home post-Assad fall, but few go due to safety fears and loss of protections.

flag Germany is offering financial incentives and travel support for Syrian refugees to voluntarily return home following the fall of Assad’s regime, but only about 2,900 have participated. flag Many remain hesitant due to safety concerns, instability in Syria, and fears of losing refugee protections. flag With around 948,000 Syrians in Germany—over 600,000 on temporary permits—political debate intensifies over whether return is safe or ethical, especially for children born in Germany. flag Rising anti-migration sentiment, fueled by the far-right AfD, has led to discrimination, including children being told to “go home.” Chancellor Merz’s stricter immigration policies and push for return have sparked concern among advocates who warn forced repatriation could violate international law and harm integration.
