Four high-ranking officials recently resigned from their posts in Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood-linked government, reports the Tower.
Mohammed Morsi’s regime lost Justice Minister Ahmed Mekky, First Deputy Finance Minister Hany Kadry Dimian, Communications Minister Hany Mahmoud, and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Mohamed Mahsoub.
Egypt’s justice minister recently resigned over Islamist efforts to "cleanse" the Egyptian judiciary of judges seen as opposed to the country’s Brotherhood-linked president Mohammed Morsi. […]
[First Deputy Finance Minister] Dimian was a key senior negotiators in Cairo’s efforts to secure a badly-needed $4.8 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund. Talks thus far have floundered in the face of the Morsi government’s refusal to undertake financial reforms demanded by the IMF. […]
Communications Minister Hany Mahmoud also recently quit, explaining that he was unable "to adapt to the government’s working culture". So has parliamentary affairs minister Mohamed Mahsoub, who said that he was unable to serve in the government because "a lot of [its] policies and efforts contradict with my personal beliefs."
According to the Tower, the resignations suggest Morsi’s government is growing unstable and weak.
