Egypt's president swears in new government with key changes
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's president Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi has sworn in a new government, two weeks after being re-elected in a vote in which he faced no serious challengers.
Members of the new government, headed by former Housing Minister Moustafa Madbouly, took the oath of office before el-Sissi on Tuesday in the presidential palace in Cairo.
El-Sissi made key changes in the new government, including new Defense Minister Mohamed Ahmed Zaki to replace Sedki Sobhi.
Mahmoud Tawfik has succeeded Magdy Abdel-Ghaffar as the Interior Minister.
