Egypt's Government Resigns
In the midst of turmoil in Ukraine and Venezuela, Egypt's interim prime minister announced that his cabinet has resigned. The surprise resignation comes as workers strike and families suffer a shortage of cooking gas. It is believed that the move was made so that the defense minister could run for president. The current, military-backed government was formed following the deposition of the Muslim Brotherhood-backed government under Mohammed Morsi. New elections are expected to be held in April.
