Egypt has sworn in a new cabinet in Cairo, amid ongoing hostilities in neighboring countries and a faltering economy.
Significant changes were made to the Cabinet under the leadership of Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly, who took office in 2018. These changes were most noticeable in the defense and economics sectors.
There are still certain ministers in position, notably those in charge of the police, health, and transportation.
The country is experiencing growing public discontent as a result of years of mishandled economic policies, the coronavirus pandemic, and the aftermath of the conflicts in Europe and the Middle East.
In addition, the implementation of austerity measures in 2016 as part of a reform agenda supported by the West and President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi has driven up costs.
Official estimates put the number of Egyptians living in poverty at close to thirty percent.
Earlier this year, the government floated the pound and sharply increased the main interest rate.
Egypt has been struggling to revive the lucrative tourism sector decimated by years of turmoil, the pandemic and most recently war in Europe and the Middle East.
In the new Cabinet, Sherif Fathy, a former civil aviation minister, replaced Ahmed Issa as Tourism and Antiquities Minister in the new government.
Another main point of contention is the recurring power cuts during the soaring heat of summer in the country of over 106 million people.
Consequently, Mahmoud Esmat was named to oversee the electricity ministry.
As conflicts rage in Gaza, Libya and Sudan a key portfolio of Egyptian diplomatic leadership is the foreign ministry.
Badr Abdelatty, who has acted as Egypt’s envoy to European countries including Germany and Belgium, has been named Foreign and Migration Minister.
The 58-year-old diplomat replaced Sameh Shoukry, 72, who led the country’s diplomacy for the past decade.
Also, General Abdel-Majeed Sakr replaced General Mohamed Zaki who was on top of the defence portfolio since June 2018.
The ministers, their deputies, and provincial governors took the oath in a presidential palace in Cairo before el-Sissi, elected in December for a third six-year term.
El-Sissi tapped Madbouly to form the new government last month.
The new Cabinet includes four women and several technocrats.
It comes three months after el-Sissi was sworn in for his third term.
The former defence minister was first elected president in mid-2014 and then re-elected in 2018.
