-------------------------- 
"POWER MINISTERS" UNCHANGED 
--------------------------- 
 
¶1. (SBU) President Deby and his PM affected a relatively 
minor shuffle to the cabinet 3/23, which left unchanged the 
leadership in all critical "power" ministries, including 
Defense, Foreign Affairs, Interior, Infrastructure, 
Education, Finance, Justice and others.  All four of the 
former opposition party leaders brought into government last 
year to head the Defense, Justice, Agriculture, and 
Urbanization/Land Use ministries remain in place. 
 
------------------ 
IMPORTANT CHANGES 
------------------ 
 
¶2. (SBU)  Of some practical significance was the replacement 
of energetic and effective Health Minister Djona by a Deby 
confidant, FN Djaibe, formerly the President's personal 
physician and Secretary General of the Presidency since 2007, 
as a reward for faithful service.  The Transport Ministry was 
folded into Infrastructure, enhancing Minister Younousmi's 
already formidable power.  The Energy Ministry was folded 
into the Petroleum Ministry, increasing Minister Mahamat 
Nasser Hassane's influence in this sector.  Deby loyalist and 
former Defence Minister Mahamat Ali Abdallah Nassour moved 
laterally from Livestock to Mines and Geology. 
 
----------------- 
SETTING THE STAGE 
----------------- 
 
¶3. (SBU)  Although this shuffle raised the number of 
ministers to 41 from 38, saw seven ministers dismissed and 
ten others elevated to ministrerial rank, its political 
impact likely is not great.  It does, however, set the stage 
for the PM's scheduled appearance before Parliament at the 
end of March to present a "balance sheet" on his government's 
performance and accomplishments since it was installed last 
(Ref B).
