  2. Syria now has a great opportunity; it will be up to the people to show whether the blame for their misfortunes truly lies with its dictatorship or with the mentality of the people. Let the usual power struggles not begin to seize the little that remains, but let everyone do their best for the good of all.

  3. I genuinely hope they succeed, but something tells me a certain ideology will take root and it will get even worse.

  5. Some of them return to Syria with full of illusions. Assad supporters come to their place. Then they realize in Syria it is another dictatorship there and not the new Middle-East Netherlands and they will want to return to Europe.

  6. this happens in Turkey too. Same speech. “Thank you” they say. “We can now go leave to our country” they say. Well… truth is, probably only a fraction of the immigrated syrians will return as the children that were born in Turkey have already married and settled here and integrated in some way or another. I guess it’s a short lived mass euphoria that will extinguish soon. No way that all syrians magically return lmao don’t be so naive folks

  8. I wouldn’t be surprised if Syria ends up with islamic rule and sharia, muslim refugees in Europe might return but we will see a new wave of christians and others who are persecuted.

  9. My fingers are crossed, don’t give up!

    all Russian influence must be condemned!

  10. At the moment, it’s just a vacuum for a new dictatorship.

  11. We will wait and see. For now the minorities are treated well. But its now the euphorics of toppling the Assad regime. HTS says they are more moderate but we will have to wait and see to what extent. To many factors (other groups) in play to know where this is going. But the fear and worry of what could happen is justified. But for now im just glad to see everyone so happy and i hope they will find justice and peace for all their familly who was slaughtered by the Assad regime.

  12. I love it.

    For years, populist idiots kept on saying stuff like “Why don’t they stay home and fight their war.”

    Now after a dictator was finally overthrown, those same people react to syrians cheering at the prospect of returning home and rebuilding with “It will only get worse, don’t celebrate”.

    The best chance to bring change to Syria is through this people who want to build a better life than people had 14 years ago. And the first reactions you see here is counterproductive discouragement.

  13. there will be another dictatorial islamist state. The leader of HTS hasn’t mentioned about atheist regime, democracy or anything else modern human right values

  14. Good for them. I hope they got some education and money while staying here in NL to use while developing Syria again. Much luck 🇳🇱

  15. Nothing is simple, but you have to smile at the sentiment here. Really nice moment

  16. Good for them! I wish them the best and will definitely visit once its done!

  17. I want to visit Syria, Here´s what I want to visit:
    . Ancient City of Palmyra
    . Aleppo Citadel
    . Damascus Old City
    . Krak des Chevaliers
    . Bosra
    . Apamea
    . Maaloula
    . Ugarit (Ras Shamra)
    . Latakia Beaches

    Please build a country open to the world! We love free countries!!!

  19. It is of course very good to see that things might be looking up again in Syria!

    But I don’t think he’ll play any part in that.

  20. If they only knew what is ahead of them… History gives hints.

  21. Good luck in rebuilding your country. I sincerely hope they will succeed

  23. The far-right loves this as the migrants go home; the migrants love this, as they get to go home; the far-left loves it, as a brutal dictator is gone; everyone seems to have won in this. Except Russia, which is even better.

    edit: typo

  25. I hope that’s the case, but the issue with so many of these crises is that it’s the wealthiest and most educated parts of the population who are most likely to leave the country, and then in the meantime it’s the people who are left who can develop and ultimately achieve political power and influence. Nice western-educated refugees cannot simply return to the homeland and expect the rebel groups that grew in their absence to share their values.

  26. I mean happy for them but wait a few weeks

    Both Israel and Turkey have their own ideas

    Iran seems to already be preparing for influence in the new government

  27. Similar things were said after Sadam. 🤷‍♂️

    Wait until they actually return and run into the jihadists and isis rejects the us supported to get rid of russia/Iran’s puppet in Syria.

  29. “rebels” are islamists rigorists, the freedom will be hard to get.

  30. This is the first time I hear people with colorful flags scream ‘holland’ for once, instead of any other country they seem to support except the Netherlands while living here.
    And we didn’t even do anything this time.
    Progress!

  31. i hope they are ready to fight for theyr right because now they are against isis which is in exchange allowing israel to invade. this isn’t good for them at all.

  34. That quote is so incredibly beautiful. I sincerely hope that they succeed, so that Syria can finally thrive as a free and democratic country.

  37. It’s definitely fair to celebrate the fall of a dictator, but I don’t think this is the end of the war

  40. I’m confused. I thought religious fundamentalists took over the country. How is this a good thing?

  41. I honestly wish for a world where many of these young Arab men and women take what they learned and built here in Europe to go back to their homelands or ancestral lands and rebuild from the rubble—much like many of our grandfathers had to after the Second World War. I wish them the best of luck. I think if enough educated and hard-working men and women go back, they will have the ability to change the hearts and minds of those who stayed.

    This notion that Western ideals are the enemy is a toxic trait that must be abolished. Countries like Syria, which have suffered so much in the past 20 years, should go back and set an example for the next generation to look up to, bringing those ideals they have gathered from their time in Europe to rebuild without a sense of hatred but for peace and prosperity.
