After the fall of deposed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, thousands of refugees began to return to Syria. Bild reported this on Monday, December 9.

Photos and videos shared on social networks show huge lines of cars forming at border checkpoints, people having fun, dancing, carrying suitcases and proudly displaying their Syrian passports.

There has been a particularly strong flow from neighboring Lebanon, where some 1.5 million displaced Syrians live. There are also reports of mass returns from Turkey, where three million Syrians are being held. At the Masnaa border crossing between Beirut and Damascus, crowds turned up throughout the day as children waved Syrian flags.

In Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has long been under public pressure for the return of refugees. Now, after the changes in Syria, this process may accelerate. According to the Turkish government, more than 240 thousand Syrians have received Turkish citizenship. In addition, many children are born in the country and have never been to their parents’ homeland.

Meanwhile, in Germany, where around one million Syrian refugees live, the possibility of returning migrants is being discussed. Under the law, refugees who received protection due to political persecution or war can lose that status if the situation in Syria stabilizes. Some German politicians have already called for a review of the status of such people and the beginning of their return.

It was previously reported that Germany has suspended consideration of asylum applications from Syrian citizens.

It will be recalled that on December 8, rebel forces in Damascus declared the capital “free” from the power of President Bashar al-Assad. They said government institutions would remain under the administration of the former prime minister until the formal transfer of power.
