This is the situation as it is now: We have an increase in poverty in Syria. There is a rise in the cost of living. There are many challenges to government services. The government is incapable of providing electricity and some basic services to the society at large.
In addition to that, we have the influx of internally displaced refugees trying to return to their places of birth or where they came from. That is adding tremendous pressure on government services and the economy as a whole. Plus, there are the returnees from Turkey and Europe. Fortunately, there are discussions going on between the Syrian government and the European community—Germany in particular—to coordinate the return of Syrian refugees.
There is a need to mention that some of the European countries—Germany, for example—seem to perceive the situation of Syrian refugees as a problem that they need to address by encouraging Syrian refugees to return. However, the issue is not that simple. The return of Syrian refugees from Germany to Syria needs to be voluntary. It needs to be coordinated with the Syrian government and matched with building a reasonable infrastructure to absorb the returnees.
