RABAT (Reuters) - Morocco's King Mohamed named on Thursday 19 new ministers after the Islamist prime minister reached a deal to form a new coalition and end months of deadlock in the North African kingdom, the state news agency said. As part of the changes, a new partner in the coalition, the center-right National Rally of Independents (RNI), will replace ministers from the conservative Istiqlal party, which left in July in a dispute over subsidy cuts and other issues.
