Egypt swore in 10 new ministers, including those for finance and the interior, on Sunday in a cabinet shake-up aimed at improving the government’s handling of the country’s ailing economy ahead of talks this week with the International Monetary Fund over a badly needed $4.8 billion loan. The shuffle solidified Islamist control of the government: the Muslim Brotherhood’s party now has eight cabinet posts. President Mohamed Morsi, above, met with the new ministers after their swearing-in ceremony at the presidential palace in Cairo.
