The German government has begun the process of lifting the protection status for some Syrian refugees with the aim of returning them to their homeland now that the civil war has ended.
Germany has long been one of the top destinations for Syrian asylum seekers after civil war broke out in 2011. This was ramped up during the 2015 Europe Migrant Crisis when then-Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the gates of the EU, allowing in around a million migrants into Germany, including hundreds of thousands of Syrians.
Now, with the fall of the Assad regime in Damascus and the recent election of Christian Democrat Friedrich Merz in Berlin, Germany finally appears set to begin the process of returning at least some Syrians home.
According to broadcaster NTV, this will start with Syrians convicted of crimes, with the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (Bamf) being ordered to “start revocation activities” for criminals from Syria.
Too.little, too late
. Angela Merkel single handidly destroyed Germany.
I’ll bet $1 that some German judge will call a halt to this.
Any takers?
Uncle Al, I don’t know about German judges but I wouldn’t bet against a US judge trying to stop it.
“Now, with the fall of the Assad regime in Damascus and the recent election of Christian Democrat Friedrich Merz in Berlin, Germany finally appears set to begin the process of returning at least some Syrians home.”
Not entirely true, as it leaves out the meteoric rise in popularity of Alternative for Deutschland, Germany’s “far right” political party whose leaders Germany’s uniparty is trying to jail or to make AfD illegal.
