European Nations Reassess Syrian Asylum Policies Amid Assad's Fall

Germany has temporarily halted asylum proceedings for Syrians following the fall of Bashar Assad's regime, citing the need to reassess the situation in Syria. This decision affects over 47,000 asylum applications. The EU and other international actors are calling for a peaceful transition in Syria, while monitoring the actions of the HTS rebels who led the offensive against Assad. Meanwhile, thousands of Syrian refugees are eager to return home, and the UN emphasizes the need for accountability for past crimes committed by Assad's regime.
