Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak swore in the ministers of the new government, headed by new Prime Minister, General Shafiq Ahmed, according to footage shown on public television. Among the ministers who were sworn in are the holders of Foreign Affairs, who is in charge of Ahmed Abul Gheit and Defence, General Hussein Tantaui, who also continues to lead the ministry.
Among the new Ministers stress the Interior, General Mahmoud Wagdi, former Head of Penitentiary Institutions, who made a military salute after being sworn in before Mubarak and the justice minister, Mahmoud Mohiedín, and Finance, Samir Raduán. In addition, the known head of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawas archaeologist, until now Deputy Minister of Culture, has been promoted to minister of state for antiquities.
Farouk Hosni, until now head of Culture and the Minister's longest in the Egyptian government, has been replaced by Gaber Ahmed Sayed. The appointments, made public, came after the previous government resigned on Saturday, the day Mubarak Ahmed Shafiq instructed the general to form a new cabinet.
Yesterday it was hoped that the announcement of the appointment of the new Cabinet, according to sources had announced the official Egyptian press center, but did not take place. These policy decisions have failed to end the protests that began on Tuesday to demand political reforms that have ended demanding the resignation of Mubarak.
