Nearly 1 million Syrians live in Germany today, having fled from war and suppression (along with 1.2 million Ukrainians & 400.000 Afghans). Their hopes for a better future for Syria must be high, a future on par with its potential and ancient wisdom. But they know that uprooting a despot is just a first step, so very hard to achieve. Things can very quickly go very wrong from there. So let's remain firm in our solidarity with their difficult situation. If we were more open, we'd learn from them.
