埃及临时政府成立

 

Hazem al-Beblawi is the new PM, under the interim President Adly Mansour.

 

The swearing in followed another night of violence between security forces and Morsi supporters that left seven dead.

 

A spokesman for Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood³ called the interim government "illegitimate".

 

Mr Morsi was ousted⁴ on 3 July in what many have said was a military coup⁵.

 

The army said it was fulfilling the demands of the people after mass anti-Morsi protests.

'Provoking unrest'

 

The swearing-in ceremony was shown live on state television.

 

Gen Sisi already held the defence portfolio⁶, but now also becomes interim prime minister.

 

Mohammed Ibrahim, who had been appointed interior minister by Mr Morsi, keeps his post.

 

Nabil Fahmy becomes foreign minister and Sherif Ismail is the interim oil minister. Mounir Fakhry Abdel Nour, a Christian⁷, is the interim trade and industry minister.

 

There are three women ministers, including Maha el-Rabat, who takes the health portfolio.

 

There were no posts for any figures from Islamist parties in the new government. The Brotherhood had said it would not take part.

 

Its spokesman, Gehad el-Haddad, told Reuters news agency: "It's an illegitimate government, an illegitimate prime minister, an illegitimate cabinet. We don't recognise anyone in it."

 

The interim government's transition plan will see a panel formed by next week which will draw up amendments⁸ to the constitution and a timetable for new elections.
