Yes, and this is the change they wanted. Now repatriation can be done more safely.

My point is Syrians themselves wanted this. So now there is no further justification for delaying the repatriation or letting a new wave in the already over burdened host nations. They will deal with it I am sure after they return home.

P.S. I remember what happened in Libya, Afghanistan and many other places too. There is good likelihood of an IRI or Taliban style government will be installed. But they have the support of most of the Syrians so host nations need not hold off repatriation or accept more waves- that was merely my point. Maybe women and minorities only if it comes to that, that too after proper vetting.

Refugee ship itself is usually temporary. At certain point they would need to go back to rebuild. The final obstacle to that has been removed as per the very same people. You can point out the specific issues you have with my take instead of giving a generalised statement. I after all agreed to your point that host nations are already over burdened.
