flag Germany and Austria push Syrian refugee returns post-Assad, citing safety, but critics warn of risks and violations.

flag Germany and Austria are accelerating efforts to return Syrian refugees, citing the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, with Germany’s chancellor declaring asylum no longer justified and offering financial incentives for voluntary return. flag Despite over a million Syrians returning since late 2024, many in Germany and Austria fear deportation, citing unsafe conditions in Syria, ongoing reconstruction challenges, and the risk of labor shortages in vital sectors. flag The U.S. also moved to end protections for Syrians, though a court blocked the action. flag Human rights groups warn that forced returns violate international law and could endanger lives, emphasizing that safe, voluntary repatriation is essential.
