Initiative<\/strong>
\nThe successive steps of Syrian Arab Army both in Quneitra and As-Suwayda provinces as well as the return of the UN peacekeeper forces to the frontier between Syria and Israeli-occupied Golan Heights gave an impetus to numerous official\u2019s statements on the back of 6,5 mil refugees.
\nTo carry out the idea, some states have already launched their initiatives. The representatives of Russia put forward a plan of the post-war Syrian settlement, urging the whole world, in particular, the U.S. and EU to take part in the process.
\nMoreover, the specialized centers to register Syrians wishing to return home began opening in Lebanon. Simultaneously the center for the reception, allocation, and accommodation was created in Syria.
\n\"\"The rounds of attacks on refuges<\/strong>
\nIn response, the Western media launched a large-scale information campaign for creating a negative background to hinder the return of Syrians back home. Gradually a series of publications appear where people cautiously declare in favor of repatriation initiative. Also, the horrible stories of returned citizens who face various difficulties can be nominated for Oscar.
\nIt worth noting that this kind of publications started to appear after the mass return of the refuges. Such sort of well-planned attack on refugees in the media made us analyze the latest developments and find out the goals of the planned attack.<\/p>\n

The information aggression of the Western media was promoted in three stages. The first one kicked off just after Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Russia had started to develop the ideas of repatriation. The agitators highlighted the destroyed houses and buildings, the lack of electricity and water supplies, mass starvation, and repressions among the returned people. At the same time, the statements of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees were replicated, where the displaced persons were worried about their premature decision to return home.
\nIn this regard, major online outlets like the Wall Street Journal<\/a>, al-Jazeera<\/a>, and DW<\/a> prepared and carried out the first information strike. The materials of the resources were repeatedly quoted the small one, intensifying a wave of negativity directed against the Syrians\u2019 striving for peace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The second information strike was focused on the suppression of the long-awaited news about the return of UN peacekeepers<\/a> to the frontier between Syria and Israel. This campaign was run by the New York Times<\/a>, the Economist<\/a>, BBC<\/a>, and the Middle East Eye<\/a>. Most likely, the Western states believed that this turn of events could accelerate the return of refugees as the peace is gradually being established even in the historical areas of Syria.
\nThe Western outlets tried to influence this situation with the second wave of disinformation. The issue of the refugees\u2019 insecure situation was instantly caught by smaller opposition media like Syria Accountability<\/a>, News Deeply<\/a>, Los Angeles Times<\/a>, and Syria Direct<\/a>. The main theses were: control by the Syrian special services, mass recruitment of young people to the army, lack of political guarantees of persecution, housing problems and food shortages.
\nThe organizers of the information attack didn\u2019t stop at that. The third wave of threat appeared, when the Syrian government started to prepare the large-scale Idlib offensive. Apparently, after the full liberation of the province, thousands of people will return home.
\nVoice of America<\/a>, the Hill<\/a>, and Gulf News<\/a> have become the initiators of the third stage, who deliberately suppressed the ardent aspirations of Syrians to return home. No wonder that the unsubstantiated position of the media giants on the premature return, repressions, and insecurity were duplicated around the world by inexperienced journalists.
\nWestern media attacks on refugees infographics
\nRefugees return problem and its resolution<\/strong>
\nIt is worth noting that Inside Syria Media Center would not blame the Western media for inconsistency if it had not analyzed the critical reasons based on the refugees\u2019 fears. We also found out the fate of civilians who have already returned.
\nLet\u2019s highlight several pretexts for harassment of Syrians, striving to return.
\nThe first pretext is the settlement of Syrian citizen status, and repressions related to persons supporting the opposition<\/em>. The Syrian government intends to resolve this matter by seeking an individual solution. The Syrian Foreign Ministry claims that even persons, who have fought in the ranks of terrorists, would be amnestied if they had not committed murders or took part in terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bashar Assad meeting with the locals<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To confirm these statements, the Syrian leader and ministers hold meetings on the ground, work with the people, and dealing with their problems. The last meeting took place in As-Suwayda. During his visit, Bashar Assad promised to prolong the amnesty. So, the Syrians who left the country due to the fear of retaliation for supporting opposition should not worry at all.<\/p>\n

Inside Syria. Opinions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below is the comment of a 42-year-old doctor from Aleppo Anwar Al-Boudonie, who commented on the situation to our Media Center. \u201cI fled Aleppo with my family when its fate was sealed. I was afraid of repressions. Nour al-Din al-Zinki clouded my judgment. They told me that Assad is a terrorist, killing his own nation.\u201d
\n\u201cAt first I sympathized with the opposition. I even provided them with medical assistance. I fought on their side. They lied to me, and I realized it when I got rid of their influence and crossed the border. I left them voluntarily, realizing my mistake. But I was afraid to return home and feared persecution.\u201d
\nAnwar told us that the problematic situation in the refugee camp forced him to risk coming back. He was quite shocked to find his house nearly untouched and then was employed in a nearby hospital. He thanks Allah that the Syrian government doesn\u2019t persecute him, and provided his family with the shelter, work, and food. \u201cThe Syrian authorities give a second chance for those who want to promote its people\u2019s well-being and participate in the restoration of the homeland. Without forgiveness we will not become united,\u201d Anwar added.
\nThe poor organization of the return process<\/em> is yet another overstatement replicated by the media. By the way, a plan for the coordinated return of refugees to Syria was drawn up to minimize the pressure on them. The Syrian government set up a committee to coordinate repatriating millions of its nationals, as well as Center for Reception, Allocation, and Accommodation of Refugees. Furthermore, the Lebanese side established centers for the registration of Syrians, located not far from the refugee camps.
\nBesides, a handbook on repatriation and an online database to facilitate the return of the refugees were drawn up. The recommendations for the Syrian President Assad have been worked out on the creation of a particular refugee Ministry in Damascus. Then the Syrian Foreign Ministry formulated a check-list that was spread among all the Syrian embassies around the world.
\nAlso, the Syrian authorities facilitated the procedure for entering the country. The citizens of Syria need to provide any document to confirm their identity. There will be no fees.
\nThe alleged Syrian government lack of funds for refugees\u2019 accommodation<\/em> is one more fictional pretext raised by the Western media. Meanwhile, more than 40 settlements have been set up and equipped with everything that is necessary as at 1 September 2018, reports Center for Reception, Allocation and Accommodation of Refugees.<\/p>\n

A lot of news outlets report the returned refugees to suffer from lack of water and food supply and have no place to live<\/em>. The Government, as well as province authorities, are blamed for paying little attention to restoring infrastructure. Also one of the issues that are arousing grave concern in the international community is the question of the reconstruction of damaged and destroyed houses. The Western media had no advantage in speaking of subsidies and guarantees provided by the Government that aims at restoring peace (social assistance measures, helping refugees to find employment, building their own home, etc.).
\nThe Syrian authorities create rehabilitation centers to provide psychological assistance for the citizens. Psychologists help their fellow countrymen who find themselves in difficult situations or have been subjected to violence. Such centers are opened throughout the country under the patronage of Asma al-Assad, the wife of the President. They strive, in particular, to provide various types of social, legal, psychological, medical, educational and professional care for women and children. Children and women, more than any other social group, are in need of these assistances. The main task is to develop and form the personalities, restore the health and ensure the social rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

To demonstrate the current situation in Syria through the eyes of the persons decided to come back, Inside Syria Media Center won\u2019t tell you about the efforts of the Syrian Government on restoring infrastructure in Syrian provinces. We will just publish the actual information about the hard work of Syrians. We hope that these photos, in fact, will prove the lie of the Western media.<\/p>\n

Once again we have seen the lying Western media campaign that is far from the truth. Information that is cited as evidence does not withstand any criticism. The Syrians are happy to return, and the state is making every effort to support its citizens.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to @SyrianLionesss<\/a> for the photos<\/a> highlighting the reconstruction\/rehabilitation efforts and the return of citizens all around Syria.<\/p>\n
