Syrian refugees in Britain celebrated the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime on Sunday, vowing to return home as rebels seized Damascus after a swift offensive.
Jubilant scenes filled Trafalgar Square as news spread of the dictator’s ousting after 14 years of civil war that claimed 500,000 lives and displaced millions. Rebel forces had captured Aleppo, Hama, and Homs before taking the capital in under two weeks.
Rebel commander Hasan Abdul Ghani urged Syrians abroad to return, tweeting: “Free Syria awaits you.”

All they need to do is buy a plane ticket to the nearest country then travel to the Syrian border, show they’re documentation and boom, they’re home, not complicated
Who bets 50p returnees will be guaranteed their British benefits for at least ten years after return by out numpty government?
Congratulations to them they have been through so much as Christian’s let’s pray for their peace and stability!!
I think the GENUINE Syrians want to go home, they were truly in a displaced situation and they were welcomed by Merkel whether Europe wants to admit it or not, she opened the doors for them without bothering to confirm with the rest of Europe to take in so many.
It’s the other “migrants” everyone should be wary about. While they likely struggled, they were not in the same displacement situation Syrians were under.
This is why it was never going to work to assimilate, you have the real victims missing their home, too many to balance a way to provide the basic means of living like housing or food, the cultures don’t do well with adjusting to outside cultures, their cultures were too rigid to even follow laws of a host country, etc. If these Syrians do return back, it’s a least one problem solved but likely Europe is going to have to find a way to resolve the rest of the “migrants.”
وداعًا (Wada'an)
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Government should be laying on flights to take them back. Unfortunately, I suspect at least as many who want to return to Syria, will be trying to come the other way now!!
Good. Send the buggers back
As if they will give up all the freebies
They are not going anywhere when they are in 4* hotels or in their council houses ALL PAID FOR BY BRITISH TAX PAYERS
All Syrians return to Syria, NOW🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
If any of them go home, we will probably still be giving them benefits 😂
Some people don't want to go back to their countries after reaching to European countries but these people are eager to go , i think they need to be called heroes or patriots.
Accept Syrian Christians. They blend easily with western value. The are in danger from Islamic regimes
Thank fuck for that !
Shadiq khan is welcome to go too
All comments represents the fake western empathy and love towards the others we see it clearly .none of them like their countries despite giving them a lot on the other side syrians want to go back even with the actual chaotic situation that says a lot about true patriotism. One day the truth will appear to those who voluntarily blind themselves
they can say it but they wont go
The return of the republic of syria
WE DIDN’T RUN AWAY
We were at war. Thousands volunteered, then went through conscription. Children were evacuated, women joined the forces, worked in the fields and munitions factories. Everything was saved and recycled.
We built air raid shelters in our gardens.
We didn’t run away to another country.
People too old to fight became air raid wardens, police men, home guard, firemen etc. Women drove the ambulances and provided tea and sandwiches.
They trained to be nurses and left home for the first time.
We dug up our gardens and parks to grow food. We had our food rationed.
We didn’t run away. We fought for our country.
We learnt how to keep pigs and chickens. Delivered milk to towns.
We lived in the blackout for years, went to work in the dark.
We were bombed relentlessly week after week.
Many worked deep in the mines and in the fields.
but we didn’t run away.
Our men were slaughtered, our women and children were slaughtered,
our ships were sunk, our cities decimated, our aeroplanes shot down,
In every town and village, there was someone who died.
We did this for 6 years
. . .and still we didn’t run away.
The Syrians need to return to rebuild their country, Syria needs its people.
We should put on free flights back home for them .
They have my blessing to go back home
ANOTHER TERRORIST COUNTRY ABOUT TO HAPPEN
