The public sector "has just come to a complete and abrupt halt," said U.N. Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Syria Adam Abdelmoula, noting, for example, that an aid flight carrying urgently needed medical supplies had been put on hold after aviation employees abandoned their jobs. This highlights the immediate impact of the emerging power dynamics in the country, revealing a significant disruption in essential services due to the political upheaval.
"This is a country that has had one government for 53 years and then suddenly all of those who have been demonized by the public media are now in charge in the nation's capital," Abdelmoula told The Associated Press. He emphasized the challenge ahead, indicating that it would take a couple of days and considerable assurance from armed groups for state employees to feel secure enough to return to work.
