Are Syrian Refugees In Germany Taking Vacations In Syria?


DW: Germany's Seehofer warns refugees who take Syria vacations

Refugees who return to Syria for holidays might lose their refugee status in Germany, German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer told the Bild newspaper. Some newcomers simultaneously claim to be fleeing persecution there.

German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer announced a tough response to Syrian refugees who leave Germany for holidays in their home country.

"If somebody, a Syrian refugee, regularly takes holidays in Syria, he cannot honestly claim to be persecuted in Syria," Seehofer told Bild am Sonntag weekly.

"We would have to strip him of his refugee status," he added.

WNU editor: The German Interior Minister does not provide any numbers, but I suspect that the numbers are small. And of those who have gone to Syria, I suspect that it is because of personal reasons and not because they want to take a vacation.

Damascus is probably secure unlike 2 years ago. Ditto Latakia.

So they could probably go home and rebuild, but it more lucrative to keep a foot in both countries and collect welfare.

There will be no Syrian miracle unlike the German Miracle.

B.H., I see you've reduced your CO2 output 2/3rds by the clever expedient of resorting to ONE tap on the keyboard to leave proof of your existence thereby using less of one calorie than that required by your old moniker that called for THREE taps. I'm forwarding this example of great personal sacrifice on your part [I know three is your favorite number] to all those who attended the recent confab of fossil fuel burning private aeroplanes and private yachts to some place whose name I cannot at this moment recall.

Bloody well done, sir! I must now put on a sweater. I feel the globe's temperature dropping as I type.

Ooops. Fellow posters, please substitute 'gathering' for 'confab'. Too much tea this Sunday afternoon.

Actually Roger it was three taps and is now one tap and hold, and a tap. The new bit does give a message though. Do you know what that message is?
