Egypt's government resigns
Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi says government offered its resignation, without giving clear reason for the decision.
Egyptian Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi said his government is to resign, a step likely to pave the way for army chief Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to declare his candidacy for president.
"Today the cabinet took a decision to offer its resignation to the president of the republic," Beblawi said in a televised statement on Monday.
