Syria’s new transitional government was officially sworn in on Saturday, nearly four months after the ousting of the Assad family, as the new authorities in Damascus work to restore stability to the war-ravaged nation.
The 23-member cabinet, which reflects a mix of religious and ethnic backgrounds, is the first government formed in the country’s five-year transitional phase, replacing the interim government set up immediately following Bashar al-Assad's removal from power in early December.
