And shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain will likely still treat them as refugees rather than as economic migrants.
“Syrians at Calais say they will STILL make the crossing to Britain despite Assad being toppled because UK ‘has work and everything we need,'” by David Averre, Daily Mail, December 12, 2024:
Syrian migrants in northern Europe said they are still aiming to reach British shores as the prospect of returning to their war-torn homeland remains too dangerous amid the instability following the downfall of President Bashar al-Assad.
It comes as the UK and several European countries suspended Syrian asylum applications with the world waiting to see whether a caretaker government established by Islamist group Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) can steady the nation.
Wrapped up against the cold in northern France, Syrian migrant Ali said that while he was delighted to hear Assad had been toppled, he was still determined to cross the sea to England.
‘I was happy when Bashar al-Assad left, he’s a criminal,’ he said near the tent where he spent a bitter night in the port city of Calais.
‘Nobody wanted him in power anymore,’ said the 23-year-old, who did not give his surname for his safety.
‘But the situation in Syria remains confused and the general atmosphere is chaotic,’ he told an AFP reporter.
Syria’s interim prime minister, HTS’ Mohammed al-Bashir, has called for Syrians abroad to return to their homeland to help rebuild it and vowed that all citizens of all religions and minorities will be safe.
But migrants told reporters in Calais they are still set on reaching England where ‘there is work, there is peace, there is everything we need’.
HTS, the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) and other groups swept into Syria’s capital Damascus this weekend, ending more than five decades of brutal rule by the Assad family.
The government fell more than 13 years after Assad’s crackdown on anti-government protests ignited Syria’s civil war, killing more than half a million people and forcing half the country to flee their homes with millions of Syrians now spread throughout the Middle East and Europe.
European countries one by one announced this week they were suspending all Syrian asylum applications and placing active cases under review in the immediate aftermath of the Assad regime collapse.
But Ali, who hails from the Syrian region of Daraa that in 2011 was the first to rise up against Assad and has been hoping to cross the Channel for two months, was undeterred.
‘It’s very bad news, but it won’t stop us,’ he insisted. ‘We want to continue to go to England because we’re looking for peace.’
He went on: ‘If the situation improves in Syria, we’ll go back.
‘Everyone dreams of going home, but for now, the situation remains too uncertain, the leaders come from a background linked to terrorism.’…

Funny, before there were any muslims in Germany we lived in peace.
The more muslims are living in Germany, the more violent it gets, e.g. muslims behaving uncontrollably in swimming baths, ATM blown sky high by muslims (who come from the Netherlands. It seems the Dutch have made a deal with those muslims. At first they blew up dutch ATMs. Then they threatened a member of the royal family. And now they blow up ATMs in Germany and are not prosecuted in the Netherlands. But this member of the royal family is no longer threatened. Can you imagine why?), muslims marching through a christmas market yelling their Allahu Akbar and shoving Germans around, German christmas markets must be protected by police and anti-tank obstacles against muslims dringing lorries into the people.

Yes of course they will still come here into Britain even though the Assad regime has collapsed. So we must assume them to be Sunni.
And you can bet we will now let the the Shi’ites in as well.
Lovely new civil war of ethnic imports fighting on UK streets.
And our Government is sending £50 million to help the new regime in Syria that we tax payers will be paying out for even though it will fund the new Terrorists in Syria that a month ago were the victims. It’s all inverted and not a damn thing to do with us anyway.
Meanwhile our pensioners, farmers and homeless in the UK can shut up and put up.
The destruction of Great Britain and particularly the native English continues space.
Welcome to the new look “staggering dhimmi Britain.”
FYI says
Questions politicians refuse to answer…
Why are all these unvetted military aged men allowed in?
There is widespread concern about assaults on women.lack of infrastructure.etc
Are they receiving some kind of training?
who is paying for this?
Why are native homeless folk ignored whilst these “guests” are being put up in comfortable
accomodation?
It wouldn’t be that Count Coudenhove-kalergi plan in action?
Angela Merkel won a coudenhove medal a few years ago…

“France: Syrian migrants say they’ll still cross into UK rather than return home, ‘there is work, there is peace”
Muslims Syrians same any other Muslims, have no excuse to be as a refugee. There is no discrimination against them from their Muslim country as a Muslim until they are making a crime.
I understand the Syrians Christians are living under threat and discrimination same as all the Christians who are living in any Muslims countries.
Europe need to check the crimes (rapping, murder, be heading, theft, etc.) making against their citizens to know the percentage did by the Muslims migrants.
After these Muslims get grants, they will start as usual asking for the sharia law. Now the new regime in Syria after Assad, practice the sharia law. Same as Afghanistan, Somalia, Iran, Suda, Yemen.
Now Europe, and the western countries can protect themselves and their citizens from these Muslims the soldiers of Allah, by send them back to their Muslims countries.
Every Muslim is a timing bomb.
Our enemies who are living in USA are more danger, than our enemies who are not living in USA.
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims
eddie says
Yes, I think you make valid points thank you.
Muslims are however killing fellow Muslims in Syria, and in Afghanistan, which is against the word and will of Allah.
And the violence towards Jews and Christians still continues at across the world, especially in Africa.
However I do not totally agree with you:
. ” Not all Muslims are terrorists” yes, but we cannot not say all terrorists are Muslims !
Today however it does appear that a great many terrorists are Muslims and yet their ‘moderate’ co religionists seem to have nothing to say.
Watch the UK you Americans and learn.
Only the older British generations now remember what a beacon of democracy we once were and a free, tolerant and kind nation.
That was our downfall.
Tim gallagher says
Well, of course Muslims will continue to invade our western countries for as long as we are dumb enough, unlike Hungary, to let them in. They are out to impose barbaric islam on the entire human race. They have wrecked their own backwards, barbaric countries because of stinking Islam and they want to wreck all of the human race by imposing islam on all of us. What a horrendous prospect for humanity, to have the load of evil shit,islam, imposed on everybody.
