US EditionA bitter return for Iraqis kicked out of Europe
- In recent years, tightening migration rules across Europe, especially in Germany, have led to thousands of Iraqis, including Mohammed Jalal, being compelled to leave the continent by late 2024.
- This expulsion results from European states' efforts to curb irregular migration and their view that places like Arbil in Iraqi Kurdistan are safe for returnees, leading to rejected asylum applications.
- Returnees face economic hardship, often burdened with debts from migration costs and unemployment upon arrival, prompting EU-funded programs and NGOs like the Kurdish Rwanga Foundation to assist reintegration.
- Between June 2023 and August 2024, over 350 returnees received support from centres funded by Germany, Switzerland, and the EU, while the Rwanga Foundation trained 120 people and gave grants up to $5,600 for small businesses.
- These developments suggest Europe's migration capacity is strained and that Iraq, despite regained stability, continues to face economic challenges that drive youth migration risks, making return support a key policy focus.
