“Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.”

Rebuild and return: Germany expects 800,000 Syrians to leave before 2030 – Most Syrians, “first and foremost for those who abuse our hospitality”, should return home within three years, said the German Chancellor.

Eighty per cent of the one million Syrians living in Germany should return home before the end of the decade, said Friedrich Merz after receiving Ahmad al-Sharaa, the Syrian President in Berlin today.

Standing alongside Al-Sharaa, the German Chancellor expressed his hopes that some 800,000 Syrians, beginning with those who have abused the asylum system or broken the law, would return to their native land over the next three years.

That means some are like this, some are like that.

Refugees in Germany, I mean.

According to media reports, the case is investigated by German authorities as a murder, with the suspect in custody.

By not deporting them.

A few thousand, tops. While an average of 250,000 flow in each and every year.

It’s a joke. But fewer and fewer Germans are laughing.

How does Germany deport people? – Germany does not have masked ICE officers or an equivalent agency, but both Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his predecessor have done all they can to accelerate deportations. Here’s how the process works…

Enjoy these German gems!

Germany’s security barriers are legendary, and for good reason. Security barriers are among many holiday traditions, like Christmas trees and Advent calendars, thought to have originated in Germany. The oldest known security barriers date back to the 15th century in Germany — and today, security barriers modeled after the German version pop up each winter across Europe and even in some U.S. cities. Between the twinkling lights, festive music, handicraft stalls stretching on for miles and mug after steaming mug of gluhwein (mulled wine), you can’t beat the festive atmosphere once you make it past one of these German gems.

Not. Not this time, at least.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas (in Germany), again.

Five arrested over plot to attack German Christmas market – Five men have been arrested in Germany suspected of being involved in a plot to drive a vehicle into people at a Christmas market.

Three Moroccans, an Egyptian and a Syrian were detained on Friday over the plan to target a market in the southern Bavarian state. Authorities said they suspected an “Islamist motive”.

Prosecutors said the Egyptian – a 56-year-old – was alleged to have “called for a vehicle attack… with the aim of killing or injuring as many people as possible”. The Moroccans allegedly agreed to carry out the attack.

In Germany.

A real tradition.

German Christmas markets open 1 year after deadly attack – Christmas markets are open in Germany with increased security this year. In 2024, a man drove an SUV into crowds at the Christmas market in the central city of Magdeburg, killing six.

Germany: Are we allowed to say we feel unsafe yet?

The Media Brain Police still haven’t given the official OK.

Germany: Survey shows every other person feels unsafe – The monthly Deutschlandtrend survey has looked into the debate about the perception of urban space in Germany. It found that the number of people who no longer feel safe in public has risen.

A statement on migration and public safety by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has been polarizing Germany for weeks. In mid-October, Merz said that the federal government is correcting previous failures in migration policy and making progress, “but of course we still have this problem with our “Stadtbild” [lit. cityscape, a reference to urban spaces], which is why the Federal Minister of the Interior is now working to make it possible to carry out repatriations on a very large scale.”

Banning Islamist organizations doesn’t seem to be all that difficult. Although the next one will just pop up a few hours later.

But banning other forms of Muslim interaction in Germany has proven to be practically impossible.

Germany news: Interior Ministry bans ‘Muslim Interactive’ – The Interior Ministry has also searched the premises of other Islamist organizations in Hamburg, Berlin and Hesse. Meanwhile, the foreign minister has caused an uproar with comments on Syria.

Is still pretty far away.

If at all. At least in Germany it always is.

Friedrich Merz says Syrians no longer have reason for asylum in Germany – Chancellor suggests deportations could begin ‘in the near future’ as government seeks to counter rise of AfD…

Merz said late on Tuesday that he expected many of the more than 1 million Syrians living in Germany would voluntarily return home.

“There are now no longer any grounds for asylum in Germany, and therefore we can also begin with repatriations,” he said. Those who refused to return could face deportation “in the near future.”
