Refugees in Sweden Celebrate Assad’s Fall, Eye Return to Syria
In Sweden, hundreds of Syrian refugees celebrated the fall of President Bashar al-Assad, expressing a desire to return to rebuild their homeland. The Swedish government, however, is concerned about a potential new wave of migration as the situation in Syria evolves. Amidst mixed political reactions, right-wing leaders like Jimmie Åkesson warn that the change in power may bring more instability, prompting calls for stricter immigration controls. Meanwhile, the Syrian diaspora continues to hope for a democratic future back in Syria.
