The Egyptian government is reshuffling again today, apparently to address continued displeasure with the progess of reform since the January revolution, and the word is that Zahi Hawass is out.
The Associated Press has a short story, which does not mention Hawass, but he has apparently let the word out and he confirmed that in a text message to The New York Times. Kate Taylor blogs about it here.
There’s no word on a replacement yet.
El Ahram is listing some new ministers, and says more announcements are expected through the day.
UPDATE, 8 p.m.: The Guardian has a longer article, calling Hawass “the biggest casualty” of the reshuffle. But still no news of a replacement.
