CAIRO — Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the man widely expected to win Egypt's presidential elections at the end of this month, has made his television interview debut with talk show barons Ibrahim Eissa and Lamees al-Hadidi.
The two-part program, aired on independent channels ONtv and CBC simultaneously on May 5 and 6, largely showed Sisi in control. The man still affectionately referred to as the "field marshal" had only appeared on Egyptian television sets to make speeches or announcements — like the removal of Mohammed Morsi as president, or his intention to run as president.
