New Egypt ministers sworn in amid non-stop protests
9:17 AM
New ministers in a reshuffled Egyptian government have been sworn in amid continuing protests over slow pace of reforms. Fourteen new ministers took their oaths but key ministers including Interior Minister Mansour Essawy are keeping their posts. There has been much buzz over the reshuffle, and observers are gauging whether it will come down protesters camped out in Cairo's Tahrir Square. Egypt’s PM Essam Sharaf was twice forced to delay the ceremony. The swearing-in was originally scheduled for Monday, but then was postponed amid disagreements between Mr Sharaf and the ruling military council over the choice of ministers. Bbc.co.uk.
