  • Since Syria's President Bashar al-Assad was overthrown, several European countries including Germany, UK and Denmark have paused asylum applications from Syria.
    More than one million people who fled Syria during the civil war are currently living in the EU.
    BBC's special correspondent Fergal Keane speaks to some of those he first met after they fled their homes in the early days of the conflict.

      A comment on this video is from a Syrian who thanks Europe for supporting him and his family by hosting them. And that they will return to Syria as soon as possible.
      Another comment I ran into was from another Syrian refugee who said he will return home to Syria by the end of the year. But he has to close out all business he has with England (leaving his temporary job and finishing up his rent for his place). And wants to make sure everything is organized for his trip home.
