The integration of former Syrian civil servants presents a ‘difficult’ problem for the new leadership

Syria’s new leadership, HTS, faces the conundrum of what to do with millions of civil servants, previously employed by the Assad regime, who have now not been paid for more than a month. HTS has said it plans to reintegrate some civil servants into its administration, despite widespread hatred of those who worked for Assad. “It’s very difficult to do, but it has to happen because right now there is a large mass of people who don’t have money in a country that is in a very deep economic crisis,” says FRANCE 24 senior reporter James Andre, reporting from southern Syria.
