It seems the more Egyptians ask for change in political power, the more situation remains the same for Egypt. In a desperate bid to cling to power, the military regime in Egypt has nominated Kamal Ganzouri to be the head of the new ‘national salvation’ government on Friday. In response to the new development, protestors in Cairo have threatened to tighten the screw further on the present military administration through renewed agitation across the country.
Interestingly, this is the second time Ganzouri would reclaim the post of Prime Minister. His previous tenure was under Hosni Mubarak, the former Egyptian President ousted in February this year. Kamal Ganzouri, the 78-year political veteran and economist in Egypt, had also held the post of minister of Planning and International cooperation.
Earlier this week, civilian cabinet headed by then Prime Minister Essam Sharaf has offered resignation amidst violent protest across the nation. As of now, Egyptian military government has refused to step down before the upcoming parliamentary elections starting on Monday. Elections are reported to be right on schedule despite the ongoing unrest.
