Many Syrian refugees depart from Germany
Many refugees who fled Syria during the conflict have been returning to their homeland, particularly from neighbouring countries such as Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq, following the fall of long-time ruler Assad on December 7th.
However, the number of Syrian refugees leaving Germany for Syria with federal funding is not provided in this article. State programs in Germany do offer funding for a return to Syria, but there are also voluntary departures by Syrian refugees from Germany that do not claim state funding.
Last year, 83,150 former Syrian nationals were naturalized in Germany. Yet, no corresponding data is available for the number of Syrian nationals naturalized in Germany for the year 2021.
As of the end of August 2021, 17,650 people from Syria have applied for asylum with the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (Bamf) in Germany, indicating that the influx of Syrians seeking asylum in Germany continues despite the return of many refugees to Syria.
The relative normality in the city centre of the capital Damascus contrasts with major problems in other parts of Syria, making it difficult for returnees to re-establish themselves in their hometowns. Janine Lietmeyer, a board member of the aid organization World Vision Germany, reports that families struggle with the decision to return to Syria due to these ongoing issues.
By the end of May 2021, only 804 Syrian refugees had left Germany for Syria with federal funding. This number increased to 1,867 by the end of August 2021. The decision for refugees to return to Syria is complex and challenging due to the ongoing issues in various parts of the country.
It's worth noting that the name of the person who traveled to Syria in August 2022 for the aid organization World Vision Deutschland and reported on the return of refugees is not explicitly stated in the available search results.
In conclusion, while some Syrian refugees are returning to their homeland, the decision is a complex and challenging one due to the ongoing issues in various parts of Syria. The influx of Syrians seeking asylum in Germany continues, indicating that many still find the situation in their homeland too uncertain or dangerous to return to.
