DAMASCUS: Syria's new transitional government was sworn in nearly four months after the Assad family was removed from power and as the new authorities in Damascus work to bring backstability to the war-torn country.
The 23-member cabinet, which is religiously and ethnically mixed, is the first in the country's fiveyear transitional period and replaces the interim government that was formed shortly after Bashar AI Assad was removed from power in early December.
The cabinet does not have a prime minister since according to the temporary constitution signed by interim President Ahmad AI Sharaa earlier this month, the government will have a secretary general.
