PARIS – The Lebanese president says he wants some 1.5 million Syrian refugees living in his country to henceforth start returning to their homes, voluntarily or NOT.

President Michel Aoun, in a state visit to France, said Monday that U.N. assistance given to aid Syrian refugees in "camps of misery" in Lebanon would be better used to return them to their country "from now on."

"We don't want to wait for their voluntary return," Aoun insisted, speaking at the Elysee Palace alongside French President Emmanuel Macron.

Aoun said that most of the Syrian regions from which the refugees hail are "now secure." Macron distanced himself from his counterpart's viewpoint, saying that the absence of a political solution in Syria prevents refugees from returning back home permanently.

Maybe that light at the end of the tunnel was not a train.

Interesting he went to Europe to see what was happening and is (supposedly) trying to get ahead of it.

They are probably so entrenched he will have to burn them out.

Cowards running from their islam filth instead of fighting for their country and people.

There is nothing as disgusting as islam making humans suffer. Pure evil with the consent of retards.

Arab nations that boot out refugees = responsibly acting in their national interests.

Western nations that boot out “refugees” = racist Islamopobes..

The Syrian refugees in Lebanon are largely Sunnis who are sympathetic to al-Qaeda and ISIS. Same for Syrian refugees elsewhere. Displaced Syrians who support the government are mostly in government controlled areas of Syria rather than abroad.
