Pro-Sisi Egyptians Struck by Amnesia
Millions are embracing Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, and have seemingly forgotten the ills of military rule that plagued Egypt for decades.
Egyptians once again find themselves stuck between two extremes: democratically elected incompetence verses a capable hand which risks receding the progress triggered by the Jan. 25 revolution. This is largely considered the main reason for Morsi's triumph against military-bred Ahmed Shaffiq in 2012 — and is the foundation upon which Sisi is creeping the army back to power a year later.
Dubbed "The New Nasser," Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's rise to stardom following his decision to oust Morsi on July 3 brought the army and police force back to the center of power which they had lost just one year before with the country's first democratic election.
