(Zaman Al Wasl)- Syrian Interior Minister said the regime is working on issuing new ID’s to avoide forgery, such a move endorses the fears of demographic change and the settlement of Bashar al-Assad’s loyalists in the Sunni-sect dominated areas.
Mohammad al-Sha’ar made his statement to Sputnik, which turned into the de-facto Syrian news agency instead of SANA. The regime’s Interior Ministry is currently working on “a project to change the Syrian ID, so it wouldn’t be forgeable. And special ID’s for markets and weapon will be changed by having them automated,” al-Sha’ar said.
Al-Sha’ar also revealed intentions to incorporate a new Syrian passport that can be acquired electronically, as well as consideration to automate the process to pay fines remotely, where it can be also paid electronically.
The statement came amid fears that such projects would be used as a cover to grant the Syrian IDs to Shiite militant Syrian documents which paves the way to the blatantly sectarian demographic change that the Syrian regime and its allies have put into motion.
As of now, it is now known exactly how the Assad regime can renew the ID’s of the millions who fled Syria and scattered across the globe in light of the Assad regime’s brutality.
Will the regime use this “renewing process” as a pretext to render the old ones revoked or forged because their respective owners couldn’t appear before the relevant authorities to replace them with new ones, especially that it is commonly known that a person should be physically present to have their fingerprints taken in order to replace their old ID with a new one.
