Syrian President Bashar Assad on Saturday appointed a new government to try the protests continue for second consecutive month, official sources said. These would be the second government-appointed Asad since they began the March 15 demonstrations in opposition to demand greater freedoms, and in some cases the resignation of the president.
The first attempt, after the previous government asked to submit his resignation, has been described by opponents of "government of criminals." Led by Prime Minister Adel Safar, former Minister of Agriculture, the new cabinet includes new owners of Interior, Finance and Information. However, the ministers in charge of key portfolios like foreign affairs and defense remain the same.
Asad has been in power since 2000, after the death of his father, Hafiz al-Assad. Asad will chair the first session of any new cabinet and deliver a speech in which he expected to address issues such as reforms and measures to combat corruption in the country and international affairs.
