HTS interviews bureaucrats as to what they do.
In his lilting Aleppan accent, Ghazal asked the department chiefs to list their remits and explain their departments’ functions. The two-hour meeting showcased how Assad’s government was “stopped in time”, he later told the FT in an interview.
Employees quoted government handbooks from the 1930s and 1960s, and were unable to answer direct questions about their duties, nor explain why decisions had been made. “The problems piled up, and they let them be,” he said. “They do not see themselves as responsible.”

One man introduced himself as the head of the public relations department, which he said included “international co-operation” as well as a division for “festival and events management”. Asked what this division did exactly, the civil servant answered, “flags”.
“There’s a department for flags?” Ghazal asked incredulously.
“Yes, when foreign dignitaries come, we put up a lot of flags,” he said. “We hang them from the poles. It’s a big job.

Ghazal spoke of the new government’s aversion to the old regime’s atavistic procedures. In Idlib, a long-neglected corner of the country that was fully cut off after rebels took it over early in the conflict, everything is digitised and you can get an ID in five minutes, he said. In Damascus, it could take months, and usually needs a bribe.
You've got r*tards like div on this forum chapo trap housing the forum up with "voter id" and "you can't have all the votes counted in a day!!"
and then you've places of Syria run by people in a Hilux with a machine gun in the bed running legitimate digitized voter ID operations. This place gets bombed every other day.
A technocratic government is being put in place for now, Ghazal told the FT, but moving forward with its plans will “require political recognition [and addressing] the terrorist designation, which I think is soon”.
Yes, that's right. The "technocracy" that we all want to live in -- it's actually just sharia law run by 100iq terrorists. Libtardism is the antithesis of a functioning society.
