A Syrian family living in Regenstauf (Regensburg district) decided to return to Syria after about 18 months in Germany’s asylum system.
-
The family reportedly lost hope of obtaining residency after long waits and complex procedures.
-
The decision came despite the son’s chronic illness, with medical care in Syria uncertain.
-
Increasing numbers of Syrians are choosing to return, driven by frustration with lengthy processes or declining chances of residency.
-
The case highlights the humanitarian dimension, especially for sick children or those needing ongoing medical care.
-
The newspaper questioned whether such a return can truly be considered “voluntary,” given the lack of prospects in Germany and harsh living conditions in Syria.
