Mubarak Appoints New Ministers, Protesters Call Strike, March Protesters continue to call for the Egyptian President to step down VOA News January 31, 2011 Tens of thousands of Egyptian protesters gather at Tahrir square in Cairo, Egypt, Sunday, Jan. 30, 2011 Photo: AP Tens of thousands of Egyptian protesters gather at Tahrir square in Cairo, Egypt, Sunday, Jan. 30, 2011 Egyptian media say President Hosni Mubarak has appointed a new interior minister and finance minister, as protesters continue to press for an end to the president's nearly 30-year rule. Reports from Cairo say former director of prisons General Mahmoud Wagdy will replace Habib Adly as the interior minister, who oversees the police and plainclothes domestic security forces. The reported Cabinet changes come as protesters call for a million-strong march in Cairo on Tuesday to force Mr. Mubarak's resignation.  They have also called for a general strike, although much of the Egyptian capital already is shut down.  Police are going back onto the streets, a few days after withdrawing following violent clashes with protesters. Security sources say police have orders to not confront any demonstrators and stick to regular police work. Looting has become a problem in Cairo. Egypt's army is continuing its increased presence, with tanks guarding banks and government buildings. Late Sunday, protesters across the country defied a government-imposed curfew for a third night to press their demand that President Mubarak step down. More than 100 people have died during protest violence since Tuesday. The uprising in Egypt began as a spontaneous, local-level movement but began to seriously organize Sunday when the country's largest opposition group, the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, threw its support behind Egypt's most prominent democracy advocate, former U.N. nuclear chief Mohamed ElBaradei. A newly formed opposition coalition, which includes the Islamist movement, has asked ElBaradei to form a national unity government and make contact with Egypt's military. Earlier Sunday, ElBaradei told some 5,000 protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square that they "cannot go back." He called for "a new Egypt" in which every citizen "lives in freedom and dignity." Senior Brotherhood leader Essam el-Erian also addressed the crowd. El-Erian had walked out of prison earlier in the day after the guards fled. Gangs freed at least 34 members of the Muslim Brotherhood and thousands of other inmates after attacking jails across Egypt and overpowering the guards. Mr. Mubarak ordered his new Cabinet Sunday to preserve subsides, control inflation and provide more jobs. In a letter read on state television, The embattled president also stressed the need for political reform through dialogue with the country's opposition parties. An unprecedented Internet cutoff remained in place for a third day Sunday, an apparent move by the government to disrupt protest organizers. Also, the pan-Arab broadcaster al-Jazeera said Egyptian authorities ordered the closure of its Cairo news hub. The Qatar-based satellite network has faced criticism by some government supporters and other Arab leaders that its nearly around-the-clock coverage of the uprising has incited more unrest. .
