Egypt Gov't Resigns in Possible Step Toward Sisi Presidential Bid 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Egypt's interim prime minister has announced the mass resignation of his
government. The sudden resignation of the entire cabinet paves the way
for Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to run for president after
renouncing his post as defense minister. Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi
has reportedly been asked to remain in his post until a new prime
minister is found.
