LA Times – The new Egyptian government sworn in Thursday is a vivid testament to the political pressures President Mohamed Morsi faces in appeasing secularists and Islamists as he moves to fix a plummeting economy while attempting to loosen the military’s hold on the nation.
Key ministers in the Cabinet are holdovers from the much criticized outgoing, military-backed interim government. They include Finance Minister Mumtaz al-Saeed and Defense Minister Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, head of the military council that ruled the country after last year’s overthrow of Hosni Mubarak.
