Ads on streets directing Syrians in Denmark return back to their country

“Go back to sunny Syria… You can now return to your homeland in sunny Syria… your country needs you”.

A phrase spread widely on billboards in the streets of the Danish capital, Copenhagen, in a campaign that confirms the fact that Syria has become safe after clearing most of its lands from terrorism and aims to encourage Syrian refugees to return to their homeland.

The campaign to encourage Syrians to return to their homeland and contribute to its reconstruction was launched in the streets of the Danish capital, Copenhagen, to spread to more than one European country, which tried to exploit the file of the displaced Syrians and invest it in the political bazaar against Syria and its people and in support of terrorism there.

Denmark, in a wide campaign, called on Syrian refugees to return to their country, to be the first European country to cancel their residency permits, stressing that most of the Syrian lands have become safe to return to them again.

The British Guardian newspaper indicated that the Danish authorities have rejected about 186 renewal requests for temporary residency in the country since last summer, pointing out that this step is justified and according to reports indicating that the security situation in several areas of the country has “significantly improved”.

The newspaper pointed out that the re-evaluation of the situation of about 500 people whose origins are in Syria and its neighboring regions comes after the Ministry of Immigration decided to expand the safe zone in Syria to include many Syrian provinces and regions.

The Danish Minister of Immigration, Matthias Tesfai, confirmed to Agence France-Presse that “the government’s policy is working well and does not back down,” stressing that the authorities of his country made it clear to “Syrian refugees that residency permits are temporary” and can be canceled if there is no need to renew them.

The Syrian refugees issue, constituted a platform for pressure on the Syrian state by Western countries and the Turkish government, who put obstacles restricting the return of the displaced to their country regardless of the security stability achieved in Syria after the Syrian Army cleansed large areas of terrorism and restored security and safety to several provinces in addition to the facilities provided by the Syrian state to ensure their safe return.

Denmark’s move to not renew residency permits for Syrian refugees and support their return to their country may be the first of its kind, but it came after Copenhagen’s recognition that Syria has become safe and that they must return and contribute to the reconstruction.

Despite this, there are still many Western countries that continue to exploit the file of the displaced, such as the Turkish government, which extorts Europe from time to time and threatens to open the Turkish borders to a sweeping wave of refugees if it does not get the money.
