Islamists in Egypt have not warmed up to the new cabinet presented by the military government. Despite changes, the military decided not to alter some key positions. Due to this and other concerns, the country’s political Muslim leaders did not accept the terms.

The Muslim Brotherhood believes that former allies of Mubarak are still in charge.

“This new cabinet is an illusion,” Brotherhood senior member Essam el-Erian said. “It pretends it includes real opposition but in reality this new government puts Egypt under the tutelage of the West,” he added.

“The main defense, justice, interior and foreign ministries remain unchanged, signaling Egypt’s politics remain in the hands of Mubarak and his cronies,” Erian said.

The article later states that the labor unions were not pleased with the changes, either. In addition, there are now calls for new protests to overthrow the new interim government.
