Rückkehr-Debatte nach Syrien: Weniger Charter, mehr Chancen

Die Rückkehr-Debatte zu Syrien zeigt drei Arten von Forderungen: die nötigen, die unnötigen und die fehlenden. Nötig ist eine Pause neuer Asylentscheidungen und die Prüfung freiwilliger Rückkehrförderung. Unnötig sind Charterflüge und Diskussionen zum Widerruf von Schutz, da diese verfrüht sind und falsche Erwartungen wecken. Stattdessen braucht es erstens die Einbindung syrischer Diasporaorganisationen in eine Wiederaufbau-Konferenz und zweitens Migrationsdiplomatie mit der Türkei. Unrealistische Schnellschüsse schaden der Debatte und dem Wiederaufbau.

Towards Convergence or Conflict?

The alliance between Pakistan and the U.S. has never been an easy one, but the tacit support of the Taliban uprising in Afghanistan through the military establishment in Pakistan has raised fundamental question on how to calibrate Western and American policies towards the country. Bruce Riedel from the Brookings Institution discussed the current situation in the country at the German Council on Foreign Relations.
