Europe has a new Syrian refugee problem, they don't want to go home amid HTS takeover

Firstpost  

Despite Assad’s departure, Syria remains mired in uncertainty, with widespread destruction, a bankrupt state, and unclear governance. Germany, home to around 970,000 Syrian refugees, has been at the centre of Europe’s refugee response since former Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the doors to asylum seekers in 2015. Austria unveiled plans for a repatriation program, while Sweden’s far-right Democrats leader Jimmie Åkesson said Syrians should see the fall of Assad as an “opportunity to go home,” according to Financial Times. “It’s too soon to talk about going back,” said founder Shaza Saker, adding that Christian refugees feel particularly vulnerable. “If I didn’t have kids I would return straight away,” said Ammar al-Rifai, a grocery worker in Berlin, whose children are now thriving in German schools.
