Will Germany Send Syrians Back?

December 20, 2024

In this episode, we dive into the complexities surrounding the future of Syrians in Germany. The debate has been heating up since the Assad regime was toppled. Host Nina Haase speaks to DW's Michaela Küfner and migration expert Raphael Bossong from SWP think tank about where Germany stands-almost ten years after Angela Merkel said "we can do this" about taking in more than a million people.

  • The varying statuses of Syrians in Germany and the implications of these differences
  • The evolution of German conservatives’ migration policies since Angela Merkel
  • The role of migration and asylum policies in the current German election campaign
