Returns are increasingly used as a migration management tool & many European countries may push for quick returns of Syrians. Our research shows involuntary, rushed returns lead to poor reintegration and should be avoided. See 6 key messages for evidence-based policymaking. The paper: bit.ly/3NsvqNG

“The way European states tumble over each other to all suspend processing asylum claims, or even start talks about returns of those who have already received protection is embarrassing,” My take on the very premature statements by European states in this piece www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/12...

aljazeera.com

Why is Europe pausing Syrian asylum claims after al-Assad’s fall?

Some European countries are freezing asylum applications for people from Syria in the wake of the fall of its regime.

2 things can be true: 1. Syrians are overjoyed & rightly celebrating the fall of a half-century-long brutal, psychotic dictatorship, & hoping to see their homes again. 2. It is not safe or responsible for European countries of sanctuary to talk now of repatration or ending asylum for Syrians.

Not even a full day after the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, leading politicians of the Christian Democrats in Germany are already pushing for the return of Syrian refugees. This is not only politically short-sighted but also disrespectful and just shamefully populist.
