Wait, who’s running that site now? Are they just going to switch some logos and keep it up?

  > who’s running that site now You would expect the "gov.af" domain to change hands? similarly, https://twitter.com/POTUS https://twitter.com/POTUS does when the administration changes.

    Yet the Trump and Biden admins managed that handover in a civilised manner. It will probably be the same with gov.af.

      There are career government employees that are apolitical and carrying out orders from political appointees at the top, which are mostly replaced with each incoming administration. From what I can tell previous administration was trying to sabotage civilized transfer in every possible way… and the fallout is on display, including AF withdrawal. However, is/was there such setup in AF government? For all I know, everyone just packed and went home/abroad…

    I wouldn't expect it to change hands. It's still "same hands" just people giving orders are different. Like did .gov tld in general change hands when regime changed to next president?

    I’m genuinely wondering, is there a “career bureaucracy” to handle such change? I imagine they sit somewhere in government building, look out the window and “oh, wells, here goes last plane out of Kabul! Time to switch flags!”
