The United Arab Emirates has appointed a 22-year-old to a ministerial post overseeing youth affairs in a Cabinet shake-up designed to inject fresh thinking into the oil-rich country's government.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum announced his new Cabinet in a series of Twitter posts Wednesday evening.
Oxford University master's degree holder Shamma al-Mazrui was named minister of state for youth affairs, one of seven women named to ministerial posts.
