And with in hours from promoting Abdel Fatah El Sisi to Field Marshal "Despite he did not lead the armed forces in any real war" , SCAF held its meeting to discuss matters like the situation in Sinai .. and El Sisi's presidential bid.And from few moments ago SCAF announced that it delegated/mandated Field Marshal Abdel Fatah El Sisi in the upcoming presidential elections. Yes SCAF representing the Egyptian armed forces announced its political support to Abdel Fatah El Sisi as a president like any other political party !! They even voted for his support , you know like any high office in any political party.
Oh yes now El Sisi will run in some farce in front of couple of candidates in a decorative way in front of the world which knows now that it was a coup more than saving a growing democracy from a fascist religious group.
Already now the mainstream media whether press or radio or TV says President Abdel Fatah El Sisi already.
El Sisi has not resigned yet from his position by the way.
Of course yesterday interim president Adly Mansour announced that the Presidential elections would be held before the parliamentary elections. Accordingly candidacy will be open next 14 February 2014 if I am not mistaken.
There is news that chief of staff Sedky Sobhi is going to be appointed as minister of defense. Ironically according to the new Constitution the upcoming minister of defense will be far more powerful than upcoming President El Sisi.
Any Armed forces Spox Colonel Ahmed Ali said that those speculations are untrue we should wait for their announcement.
It is worth to mention that El Sisi said in July 2013 that he was not looking for any position so the army would not be accused for seeking power. These were his own words in summer 2013. Of course Field Marshal Abdel El Sisi and the Egyptian armed forces should be careful , very careful because I remember that the Muslim Brotherhood said the same thing and later they got candidates after all. Be very careful.
Oh former deputy PM and representative of so-called Democracy camp in cabinet Dr. Ziad Bahaa El Din , your resignation was too damn late.
The answer is and has always been Tunisia so far.
