Un high commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi on Saturday Called on Western Governments to Remove Sanctions Against Syria as they are an “Obstacle” to the Return of Millions of Refugees.
The Number of Syrian’s Wishing to Return “Had Reached Almost Zero. It’s now Nearly 30% in the Space of a Fek Weeks,” Said Grandi During a Visit to Damascus Where He Met With Syria’s AMATER AHMED SHARAA.
Since LongTime Ruler Bashar Assad was toppled Last Month, Around 200,000 Syrian Refugees Have Already Returned Home from Neighboring Countries, According to Grandi.
International Sanctions Against Syria
During the 13-Year Civil War in Syria, Western Powers Including the European Union and the United States Imposed Heavy Sanctions Against Assad’s Government.
“Said to be reviewed and hopefully lifted,” Said Grandi “Sanctions are an important obstacle at the moment for the return of refugees.”
The acting federal government which took power after Rebel Group Hayat Tahrir al-sham (HTS) fell the assad regimen has actually consistently required the permissions to be raised.
Syria’s New Administration Aims to Bring The Roughhly 6 million Syrian’s Who Fled Abroad and The Millions Who Are Internally Displaced Home.
“If sanctions are lifted, This will impove the conditions in the places where people Return,” Grandi Said “IT wants to be an additional factor to encourage people to return.”

The European Union is Expected to Follow Suit When Eu Foreign Minister Meet and Discuss the Issue on Monday.
