[00:02:15] today. So I also extend my thanks work and capacity
[00:02:19] about a building.
[00:02:22] The Chargé d'affaires of the
[00:02:25] in this Syrian Embassy in Berlin, Muhammad Baraa Shukri, discussed with the Belgian Ambassador to
[00:02:28] Germany, Peter Heibrout, ways to strengthen

[00:02:46] steps to support social
[00:02:48] evident in the dilapidated and economic recovery
[00:02:49] in Syria.
[00:02:53] The Internal Security Forces announced the arrest of former General
[00:02:57] is dilapidated. There is Ahmed Muhammad Ismail, one of the first-tier leaders in the Republican
[00:03:00] movement during the rule of the former regime.
[00:03:04] and at the internal level with The Internal Security Forces clarified that his military
[00:03:06] records show his progression through leadership positions

[00:03:18] noting his direct participation in leading military
[00:03:22] attacks on Aleppo, Daraa, and Eastern
[00:03:26] for years from
[00:03:26] to the services file in
[00:03:27] Some of them until Ghouta.
[00:03:29] now have had some So, dear viewers, we have reached
[00:03:32] so that we can limit or reduce the end of this summary and now to our news hour.
[00:03:40] qualify these cadres who have suffered from On the other hand, in 40 hectares to 46
[00:03:42] disconnection? Yes, thank you for
[00:03:48] I first came to are moving forward in this residential cities In Raqqa, the challenges do not stop at rebuilding
[00:03:52] what the war destroyed, but extend
[00:03:56] to the details of daily life.
[00:03:58] Bridges need maintenance, water
[00:04:02] is consumed at high
[00:04:04] with haphazard housing rates, and sewage flows directly
[00:04:11] So it requires for something new in real into the Euphrates River. Raqqa Governor Abdul Rahman Salameh
[00:04:14] There was a chaotic situation roads in the spoke about
[00:04:15] still studying plans to address these issues, as well as
[00:04:18] expanding the industrial city
[00:04:21] cadres, whether at the and offering new areas in in many areas for investment.
[00:04:22] leadership level or at the Regarding the displaced, he says that
[00:04:26] the authorities will not expel anyone from the north
[00:04:30] before securing a ready place, while the governorate
[00:04:33] still contains tens
[00:04:36] of camps, both official and informal.
[00:04:41] which was the destruction
[00:04:52] this in this
[00:04:59] The Governor of Raqqa, or 17 days, the also involved extensive coordination with
[00:05:01] mistake, because us also shed light Abdul Rahman Salameh, said that the number of employees in state institutions
[00:05:05] in the governorate is about 30,000 employees,
[00:05:09] pointing out that human resources have been matched between
[00:05:12] 85 and 90% of
[00:05:16] those working in government institutions.
[00:05:20] A number of those who were dismissed, and you also have a number of people
[00:05:23] who were with Qasd, to be honest.
[00:05:26] The awareness of the people of Raqqa, because these people are
[00:05:30] the sons of Raqqa, helped me a little bit. At the same
[00:05:33] time, we are entering programs where we will
[00:05:36] welcome everyone and assess their competencies
[00:05:40] through the existing institutions.
[00:05:43] So we started and organized almost
[00:05:47] committees in this regard, and thank God
[00:05:49] today we can say we have completed almost 85 to
[00:05:53] 90%. Today, only human
[00:05:56] resources are trying
[00:05:59] hard to interview all
[00:06:03] employees and conduct a sorting process.
[00:06:06] And the government, thankfully, allowed us to rotate within
[00:06:09] departments, and of course, the president,
[00:06:13] thankfully, directed that we must accept everyone,
[00:06:16] and this is something we directly did. There are
[00:06:20] legal procedures, and this necessarily takes its
[00:06:23] time, but you accepted everyone and started working
[00:06:27] on the basis that they are employees,
[00:06:30] but only where their place will be. This will take
[00:06:34] some time until you interview 30,000
[00:06:37] employees. A very large portion of them went to
[00:06:41] the Directorate of Education, almost 12,000, and the rest
[00:06:44] of the directorates and existing institutions.
[00:06:47] Raqqa Governor Abdul Rahman Salameh
[00:06:51] added in a special interview with Al-Ikhbariya
[00:06:55] that the governorate's situation suffers from multiple
[00:06:58] and varied difficulties,
[00:07:00] and that the governorate suffered a lot
[00:07:04] during the past period, especially regarding the dilapidated
[00:07:07] infrastructure in the governorate center
[00:07:09] and its countryside. Raqqa, honestly,
[00:07:13] its reality is no secret to anyone. It is completely different from
[00:07:17] other governorates. Each governorate has a challenge.
[00:07:20] The challenge of Raqqa governorate
[00:07:23] is actually that you see
[00:07:27] Raqqa, it has been subjected to various
[00:07:30] forces, whether it was ISIS or Qasd,
[00:07:33] and it is somewhat far
[00:07:36] from governance, if I may say so.
[00:07:39] So here the challenge lies, and you have a number of dismissed people,
[00:07:43] and you also have a number of people who were with
[00:07:46] Qasd, to be honest. The awareness of the people of Raqqa,
[00:07:50] because these people are the sons of Raqqa, helped me a little bit.
[00:07:54] At the same time, we are entering
[00:07:57] programs where we will welcome everyone
[00:08:00] and assess their competencies through the existing
[00:08:03] institutions. So we started
[00:08:06] and organized almost committees in this
[00:08:10] regard, and thank God, today we can say we have completed
[00:08:13] almost 85 to 90%. Today,
[00:08:17] only human resources are
[00:08:19] trying hard
[00:08:22] to interview all employees and conduct
[00:08:26] a sorting process. And the government, thankfully, allowed us
[00:08:29] to rotate within
[00:08:31] departments. Raqqa Governor
[00:08:35] also clarified that giving priority
[00:08:39] the governorate over the current situation is a big
[00:08:42] mistake, emphasizing that no one
[00:08:45] will be evicted from the north of the railway line
[00:08:48] except to a ready place.
[00:08:51] The goal is to create real estate development
[00:08:55] projects that suit the governorate's reality.
[00:08:58] Honestly, when
[00:09:01] Raqqa, I saw the
[00:09:04] great extent of destruction, and at the same time, the dilapidated
[00:09:08] infrastructure. And at the same time, it's your duty
[00:09:11] as governor to find solutions.
[00:09:15] So I was looking for a starting point
[00:09:20] estate development, and the North
[00:09:23] of the Track area was the most disadvantaged. And honestly, I was
[00:09:27] the issue, and by God's will, our people in the North
[00:09:31] of the Track heard some news, so they wanted
[00:09:34] to inquire. So I was very clear with them
[00:09:37] that the place where
[00:09:41] there is development,
[00:09:43] whoever has a shop, whoever has land, whoever has this and that, all of it will remain; nothing
[00:09:47] will change. In fact, you will not take anything at all. On the contrary,
[00:09:51] you are actually developing with this
[00:09:53] project. What is the reason that prompted me to
[00:09:56] this?
[00:09:58] During the
[00:10:00] revolution, there was a very large
[00:10:04] random encroachment on zoning plans.
[00:10:07] To provide services to people in the current
[00:10:10] situation, we would be committing a big
[00:10:14] the streets have such a small capacity.
[00:10:17] The width of the street does not exceed 8 meters or
[00:10:21] 10 meters, and there is a neighborhood with a very
[00:10:25] large area with
[00:10:28] organize it, and this will not cost anything. I will not
[00:10:31] burden anyone with this matter.
[00:10:35] The land I own, I, as a state,
[00:10:38] I will bear the cost, meaning at the expense
[00:10:42] of the state, in terms of meters, etc. However,
[00:10:45] for others, nothing will change for them. On the contrary, the price
[00:10:49] of a square meter of land, you know, when real estate development or
[00:10:52] a certain planning
[00:10:56] scheme is introduced.
[00:10:57] And regarding
[00:11:00] the service situation in Raqqa governorate, we have
[00:11:04] Engineer Ali Al-Hussein, Head of Raqqa City Council,
[00:11:08] speaking to us from Raqqa. And we are also joined
[00:11:11] by Ammar Al-Abdi, Director of Administrative
[00:11:14] Development in Raqqa governorate. Welcome, my dear
[00:11:17] guests. I'll start with you, Engineer Ali, with full
[00:11:20] transparency, and between planning
[00:11:23] figures and on-the-ground reality.
[00:11:27] How do you describe the service and urban scene
[00:11:30] in Raqqa city?
[00:11:33] May God bless you, Professor
[00:11:36] Syrian News. Welcome. Indeed,
[00:11:40] after the liberation of Raqqa city at the beginning of this
[00:11:43] current we entered the city,
[00:11:47] and the city was mostly
[00:11:50] in a dilapidated state of destruction. The infrastructure
[00:11:54] was severely damaged.
[00:11:57] Roads and streets were cut
[00:12:00] off. Services
[00:12:04] were very bad. We began to draw
[00:12:07] up plans to save the city in the first
[00:12:11] emergency phase after liberation.
[00:12:14] The City Council, under the patronage of the Governor and with the support
[00:12:17] of the government,
[00:12:21] services in all aspects
[00:12:23] of life that primarily include
[00:12:27] cleaning services, waste removal, and daily
[00:12:30] waste disposal. We had a major challenge
[00:12:34] regarding illegal dumps at the beginning
[00:12:37] of liberation. We launched a cleaning
[00:12:41] campaign that lasted for
[00:12:44] month, in which the
[00:12:48] efforts of the city's residents,
[00:12:51] Raqqa City
[00:12:53] Council, and with the support of the governorate, technical services,
[00:12:57] and emergency management, we removed all these wastes
[00:13:01] and illegal dumps.
[00:13:03] Yes. In order to
[00:13:07] achieve cleanliness in the city, we also have
[00:13:10] other challenges
[00:13:13] roads, many potholes,
[00:13:17] many cracks.
[00:13:20] The sewage system
[00:13:22] hardly a road, area, or neighborhood in Raqqa
[00:13:26] that does not suffer from sewage problems.
[00:13:30] In addition to that, the sewage outlets
[00:13:33] ultimately flow into the Euphrates River, and this
[00:13:37] is a very large
[00:13:41] and terrible pollution that needs to be addressed.
[00:13:44] We have developed plans to address this issue,
[00:13:48] God willing. In the coming days, there will be treatment
[00:13:51] plants for sewage treatment,
[00:13:57] pollution to the maximum possible extent.
[00:14:01] terms of services, which we have been keen
[00:14:04] on since the beginning of liberation until today, and we
[00:14:10] direction, is the preparation of roads, the road
[00:14:14] network, the maintenance of internal roads, and the repair
[00:14:17] of what can be repaired and the establishment
[00:14:20] and rehabilitation of major roads in the city.
[00:14:24] Large sums have been allocated for this.
[00:14:26] The budget of the Ministry of Local Administration and Environment
[00:14:30] for Raqqa City Council, as well as with the support
[00:14:33] of the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, for the rehabilitation of major
[00:14:38] governorate. Yes. So, out
[00:14:42] of ten, honorable Engineer Ali, what is the percentage
[00:14:46] of progress you have achieved in the service
[00:14:49] reality in the governorate since it returned
[00:14:53] to state control until
[00:14:55] now?
[00:14:58] I forgot to tell you also that we had a very
[00:15:02] big challenge at the beginning of the stage,
[00:15:06] of the two main bridges in Raqqa, which are Al-Rashid
[00:15:10] Bridge and Al-Mansour Bridge. We carried out maintenance
[00:15:13] and rehabilitation of Al-Mansour Bridge as an emergency
[00:15:15] solution within a period of no more
[00:15:19] than 20 days, meaning 16 bridge was put into emergency
[00:15:23] service as a quick solution. We also
[00:15:27] worked technically, professionally, and engineering-wise
[00:15:30] to rehabilitate the new bridge.
[00:15:33] The Ministry of Housing, in partnership with Raqqa governorate,
[00:15:39] bridge. Within approximately three months
[00:15:42] or more, the new
[00:15:46] into service, thanks to God. And it
[00:15:49] was the vital artery that connects Raqqa governorate with other
[00:15:53] governorates.
[00:15:55] As a percentage of what we have achieved
[00:15:58] in services, you would say, I mean,
[00:16:02] compared to 10, the matter is
[00:16:05] approximately, not exactly accurate.
[00:16:08] We pray to God that we have achieved a good
[00:16:12] portion, I mean, approximately 70% of the basic,
[00:16:16] important, essential, and emergency services,
[00:16:19] especially in terms of cleanliness and sewage.
[00:16:23] We worked at an accelerated pace,
[00:16:26] working day and night to overcome these
[00:16:30] challenges and difficulties. And now the ongoing
[00:16:33] projects in Raqqa governorate are no secret
[00:16:37] to anyone. Yes, regarding the rehabilitation and construction of roads,
[00:16:40] ring roads, the southern ring road, and the northern
[00:16:44] ring road, they are now, by the grace of God,
[00:16:47] in the process of completion and preparation,
[00:16:50] as well as the main exit from Raqqa towards
[00:16:53] the east, which is called Al-Mashlab Road. All these
[00:16:56] important roads are currently under construction, God
[00:16:59] willing, and there will be qualitative
[00:17:02] leaps that will raise the level
[00:17:06] coming days, God willing, and we pray
[00:17:09] to God to increase this percentage
[00:17:13] until we reach the highest possible level, with the support of the government
[00:17:16] and the patronage of the Governor and the cooperation of the people of Raqqa
[00:17:20] city and governorate and the working teams in it. And we do not forget anyone,
[00:17:24] from the largest worker to the smallest worker in the city. Yes,
[00:17:27] Mr. Ammar Al-Abidi, I turn to you or move to you. What
[00:17:31] is Raqqa's problem today? Is the problem due to lack
[00:17:34] of funding, or the extent of the damage caused, or the slow
[00:17:38] handling of basic service files such as
[00:17:41] water and sanitation? May God bless you, Professor Muhammad, but I think this
[00:17:46] Engineer
[00:17:48] Ali. Yes. So, regarding
[00:17:50] the issue of employees
[00:17:53] returning to their
[00:17:57] government departments and sectors,
[00:18:00] how far have you progressed
[00:18:03] file? May God bless you, Professor Muhammad, and all the esteemed viewers.
[00:18:06] Thank God, we have made great progress in this
[00:18:10] file, but first, let me clarify
[00:18:13] a certain idea. The reality in Raqqa is a bit different
[00:18:16] in terms of employment, in terms of reintegrating employees into state
[00:18:20] files or into government departments. In the state,
[00:18:24] we have three main types of employment. Today, we have
[00:18:27] the reintegration file: how to bring back employees who were with the self-administration previously
[00:18:31] to their work, how to bring back the dismissed brothers, primarily, to
[00:18:35] their jobs. This requires a high level of coordination,
[00:18:38] both with the ministries
[00:18:41] the directorates within Raqqa governorate. And we have the
[00:18:45] third type, which is new employment based on
[00:18:48] qualitative employment, let's call it that,
[00:18:50] its connections.
[00:18:53] Our ministry, the Ministry of Administrative Development, in cooperation with other
[00:18:56] ministries, has thankfully made great
[00:18:59] progress in these three issues or three points.
[00:19:06] complications due to Raqqa's difficult reality.
[00:19:10] Over the past 15 years, many forces have intervened,
[00:19:14] meaning there have been changes in many of the entities that
[00:19:18] governed the city. But by God's grace, and with the government's
[00:19:21] support, and the support of the Governor, may God reward him with all good, he has always
[00:19:24] been the hand that supported us in this file,
[00:19:28] primarily due to its complexity. This file cannot be handled
[00:19:32] in a simple, ordinary way. Today,
[00:19:35] we need coordination at different levels, whether at the level
[00:19:39] of ministries, at the level of the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, at the level
[00:19:43] of the governorate itself, with the directorates, with the government
[00:19:46] entities. Yes. integrated
[00:19:50] coordination with all relevant parties, starting
[00:19:53] from the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, to the governorate, with the Governor,
[00:19:57] may God reward him, to the brothers in the other directorates, and even
[00:20:01] the employees themselves, whom we are trying to integrate,
[00:20:04] sometimes have a role in some of them
[00:20:07] delaying
[00:20:10] bringing the files that concern them or contacting the relevant
[00:20:14] entity, because sometimes there was also a lack
[00:20:17] of some data concerning employees of the self-administration
[00:20:20] previously. As for, if I want to also emphasize
[00:20:23] the issue of the dismissed, which is a priority
[00:20:27] for us in Raqqa,
[00:20:30] file
[00:20:33] ministries and government entities. Some ministries want to bring
[00:20:37] back employees, let me emphasize this point, but sometimes there are no
[00:20:41] ready buildings due to the reality, let's
[00:20:44] say, of the destroyed buildings in Raqqa or the absence
[00:20:47] of a building for these employees. So
[00:20:50] there are many obstacles, but thank God, with God's grace and
[00:20:54] the government's support from the highest levels
[00:20:57] to the executive levels, everyone's efforts are concerted,
[00:21:00] and God willing, we have made great progress in this file. Today, almost
[00:21:04] more than 80 to 90% of the file has been closed,
[00:21:08] so God willing, what remains are some
[00:21:12] and even these, God willing, we have no problem with them,
[00:21:15] because due to the concerted efforts of everyone, today
[00:21:19] we have central committees in the governorate,
[00:21:22] meaning the Governor
[00:21:26] ministry, may God reward them, with the support of the Minister,
[00:21:28] there is also a very high focus or concentration on
[00:21:32] Raqqa governorate to raise the employment situation there to
[00:21:35] an advanced level, God willing. Yes. So what are the
[00:21:39] most pressing sectors today
[00:21:42] or in need of accelerating the process of reinstating
[00:21:45] dismissed employees to
[00:21:48] their positions at this stage?
[00:21:50] Which sectors do you prioritize more than others?
[00:21:53] Yes, honestly, we try to treat
[00:21:59] equality, but there are some service
[00:22:02] sectors that need to be activated today.
[00:22:05] The sectors, for example, the City Council,
[00:22:08] the health sector, which is a very
[00:22:12] important sector in the governorate, we are focusing
[00:22:15] on it in a very big way, God willing, so that we can improve the health situation in the governorate.
[00:22:21] In cooperation with the brothers in the Directorate of Education and the Ministry of Education, may God reward them, they have made
[00:22:24] good progress in that. So, in general, our
[00:22:28] focus is on the service sector that provides direct
[00:22:31] services to citizens, which covers the largest segment of citizens.
[00:22:35] Of course, the three sectors I mentioned to you,
[00:22:38] which are health, education,
[00:22:40] and services. And there is a very important sector, which is the agriculture
[00:22:44] sector. Today, the agriculture sector is one of the most important sectors
[00:22:48] in the governorate. We are also coordinating extensively with them,
[00:22:52] and the young people, God bless them, for example, the agriculture sector
[00:22:55] has brought back all employees, both those
[00:22:58] dismissed and those in the reintegration file. They have all been returned to work and are currently
[00:23:01] being contracted, and they are on duty
[00:23:05] from this platform to the brothers in the Directorate of Agriculture
[00:23:08] for their efforts. Yes, Engineer Ali, I turn
[00:23:12] to you again, regarding the file of North of the Track,
[00:23:16] which has been much discussed recently.
[00:23:19] What is the direct and executive message
[00:23:23] you would send today to those living
[00:23:26] North of the Track regarding the alternative development
[00:23:30] and readiness? As we heard from the Raqqa Governor's
[00:23:33] statement, he said that the people of that
[00:23:37] area will not be displaced except to ready
[00:23:41] places. Where are these places? Is there coordination
[00:23:44] today regarding
[00:23:45] this file?
[00:23:50] Yes, my dear brother,
[00:23:52] when we entered Raqqa, we
[00:23:55] began to develop urban development plans
[00:23:58] alongside services, including targeting some
[00:24:02] areas for the establishment of organized,
[00:24:06] qualified, and serviced residential
[00:24:10] cities. We targeted several areas
[00:24:13] with Yes,
[00:24:17] an area of approximately 21 hectares.
[00:24:21] And among them is the North of the Track area, which exceeds
[00:24:26] hectares. And there are other areas in Raqqa. All these areas
[00:24:30] were put under study
[00:24:32] for the establishment of advanced urban
[00:24:38] to serve our people in Raqqa. After that, areas will be relocated
[00:24:42] gradually to a place
[00:24:44] that is, let's say, more comfortable,
[00:24:47] more organized, and more serviced. The North
[00:24:51] of the Track is one of the areas
[00:24:54] and chaos, and it is not serviced at all. The roads there
[00:24:58] are very narrow, and sanitation is not
[00:25:00] available.
[00:25:04] in the past years
[00:25:08] Raqqa, including North of the Track. The Governor's
[00:25:11] proposal, as you mentioned in your report
[00:25:15] and as he stated in his statement,
[00:25:18] is that North of the Track is one of the areas targeted for urban development.
[00:25:21] No one will be displaced from their home, and no one will be evicted
[00:25:25] from their home except to a better
[00:25:29] and more serviced place. And this, of course, is with the consent
[00:25:33] of all residents,
[00:25:34] not by force.
[00:25:37] Yes, we are also joined
[00:25:40] discussion by Professor Morhaf Al-Hussein, Director of the
[00:25:44] Media Directorate in Raqqa governorate. Welcome,
[00:25:47] Professor Morhaf, and let
[00:25:50] with you on the media
[00:25:53] aspect that you are undertaking today to highlight
[00:25:57] the suffering of Raqqa governorate and the most prominent
[00:26:00] needs of the governorate today,
[00:26:02] perhaps to convince investors, in one
[00:26:06] way or another, to direct their investments to the city,
[00:26:09] and perhaps also today to shed light on the suffering of the governorate's
[00:26:12] residents. May God bless you, Professor
[00:26:15] Muhammad. We , in the Media Directorate, are
[00:26:18] doing our part in conveying the suffering of the people
[00:26:22] and also covering the activities
[00:26:26] in the governorate. Just
[00:26:29] a moment ago, I was in a meeting with
[00:26:34] Spanish journalists, to
[00:26:37] cover the governorate
[00:26:40] media-wise and convey the image to local media and to foreign
[00:26:44] media. The importance of media is no secret
[00:26:48] regard. And the governorate is full of investment
[00:26:52] opportunities, whether
[00:26:55] tourism or economic. As
[00:26:59] you know, the governorate is an agricultural governorate, and
[00:27:03] we are trying to focus on this aspect, because
[00:27:07] people need
[00:27:09] investments related to the agricultural
[00:27:13] sector. This provides many
[00:27:16] job opportunities, and factories
[00:27:20] and workshops will be close to the sources
[00:27:23] the governorate. God willing,
[00:27:27] the future is good. God willing, here, I mean,
[00:27:31] we can't keep up with the coverage, we can't keep
[00:27:35] up with reports. God willing, even the Governor, I mean,
[00:27:38] he works
[00:27:42] Meetings at night and meetings during the day. We ask God
[00:27:45] to bring good to this governorate, God willing, and that we do our part
[00:27:49] as we should, God willing. Yes. So what are the communication tools that
[00:27:52] you use, Professor Morhaf, to communicate
[00:27:56] directly with the people to express their
[00:28:01] in the governorate?
[00:28:04] Well, we always focus
[00:28:06] on conveying the suffering of the people through field
[00:28:10] reports. This is
[00:28:13] something we
[00:28:15] do daily. We publish
[00:28:18] and convey opinion polls, appeals,
[00:28:21] demands
[00:28:23] in any aspect, whether the service aspect, the educational
[00:28:27] aspect, any aspect.
[00:28:30] We convey the suffering of the people so that the directorates
[00:28:33] are aware of the shortcomings,
[00:28:37] the flaws, so that they can correct
[00:28:40] and these directorates can
[00:28:43] deal and interact with any demand from
[00:28:47] for the people, God willing, we will, God willing,
[00:28:50] prepare several ideas, God willing, we will have a program, God willing,
[00:28:54] soon, called "Al-Karat wa al-Nas" (The Balls and the People),
[00:28:57] which will bring the official
[00:29:00] with a segment of the people.
[00:29:03] This meeting will be interactive
[00:29:06] and service-oriented. We will discuss these issues
[00:29:09] in addition to the social and cultural
[00:29:12] aspects, meaning it is a space, a
[00:29:15] dialogue space. We ask God Almighty to make it an addition to the media
[00:29:19] in Raqqa. Yes.
[00:29:21] I return to Professor Ammar Al-Abdi. So, a large number of
[00:29:25] employees have suffered
[00:29:28] disconnection. Today, the entry of
[00:29:32] Raqqa Governorate into a new stage of the process of
[00:29:36] returning employees to their jobs, what is
[00:29:39] the strategy set to re-
[00:29:44] the question, Professor Muhammad. By the grace of God, we have a comprehensive plan
[00:29:48] for developing competencies in Raqqa Governorate. And thank God, we have
[00:29:51] competencies in the first place. We have many competencies in Raqqa Governorate
[00:29:54] that we can benefit from in various fields. But let me
[00:29:57] talk about employees in general in Raqqa Governorate. Today, we have a large
[00:30:01] number, but how many will we return to their jobs,
[00:30:05] excluding those who were already in their jobs?
[00:30:08] So we might end up with more than 40,000 employees with the people who
[00:30:12] were already in their jobs. We,
[00:30:16] in the Ministry of Administrative Development, under the guidance of His Excellency the Minister and the brothers
[00:30:18] in the Ministry, worked on a comprehensive plan to train these
[00:30:25] executive level. We have comprehensive plans. We started
[00:30:28] implementing the plans approximately four months ago.
[00:30:32] The training, and by the way, the Directorate of Administrative Development is
[00:30:35] a new, established directorate in Raqqa. But during
[00:30:39] the four months that we started, we made great progress.
[00:30:42] We trained a good number, a large number,
[00:30:46] compared to this short period. We tried
[00:30:48] to see because during the last 15 years, Raqqa Governorate
[00:30:52] did not receive any training, nor were cadres developed, with the exception of,
[00:30:56] of course, the people who were living outside the governorate. As for reality.
