CAIRO: Egypt’s Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq on Monday ordered that streets be renamed to honor “martyrs” who died during the mass protests that ousted President Hosni Mubarak.

Shafiq asked provincial governors to rename streets where the protesters had lived, state news agency MENA reported.

The army-led administration reshuffled the cabinet on Sunday to include several opponents of Mubarak. Activists who led the demonstrations are demanding the dismissal of all the ministers he appointed.
