Syria diaspora around the world

According to the United Nations, 8,910,000 people from Syria live abroad.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born abroad. The real diaspora is therefore larger.

3,560,000 people from Syria live in Turkey, 1,590,000 Jordan, and 861,000 Germany.

Together, these three countries therefore account for about 68% of the diaspora.

Each country has its own page, with the cities, communities and meetups there.

By continent, the diaspora counts 6,830,000 people in Asia, 1,670,000 Europe, and 217,000 Africa.

For each continent, a page also gathers the countries and cities where it lives.

Other countries in Asia also have their diaspora on Compatri: India, China, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Philippines. Each page gathers its countries of residence, its cities and its national day.

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

Every April 17, the national day brings the Syria diaspora together. Wherever the diaspora lives, communities also organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
