S’exprimant lors d’un séminaire devant des militaires et des policiers, le général Al Sissi a appelé « chacun à prendre vraiment conscience de l’ampleur des problèmes qui se posent à la société égyptienne et qui nécessitent une accélération de la dernière phase de transition », rapporte le porte-parole de l’armée sur sa page Facebook.
Le ministre des Affaires étrangères, Nabil Fahmy, a déclaré la semaine dernière que la phase de transition politique devrait s’achever « d’ici le printemps prochain ».

Campaign to convince Al-Sisi to run for presidency plans to gather signatures - Daily News Egypt

▻http://www.dailynewsegypt.com/2013/09/30/campaign-to-convince-al-sisi-to-run-for-presidency-plans-to-gather-s

La campagne lancée pour convaincre le général Abdel Fatah Al-Sissi de se présenter aux prochaines élections présidentielles aurait recueilli 3 millions de signatures en 20 jours. Des manifestations sont prévues le 6 Octobre sur la place Tahrir et devant le Palais présidentiel pour le soutenir.

The “Kammel Gemilak” campaign head, Refa’i Nasrallah, said in a press conference that the campaign merged with four other campaigns for the same goal. Nasrallah added that the campaign will call for demonstrations on 6 October in Tahrir Square and in front of the Presidential Palace under the slogan “Returning the favour [to the Armed Forces] and supporting Al-Sisi for presidency”.

The National Coalition to Support Legitimacy announced earlier that they will organise marches against what they described as “the 3 July military coup” on the same day.

Nasrallah added that during the upcoming six weeks, the campaign plans to gather 30 million signatures “as a preliminary phase”, and the final goal of the campaign is to gather 50 million signatures in support of Al-Sisi. He also deemed the campaign an “extension to the 30 June Revolution and Tamarod (Rebellion) campaign” and thanked the Tamarod campaign for “enlightening the campaign’s way.”

Al-Adawy commented on Al-Sisi’s military background: “The army is full of patriotic men, but we chose Al-Sisi for his humanity.” He added that Al-Sisi is a “national hero” and that his nomination for presidency is “a demand and a dream”. Al-Adawy also announced that the campaign “is preparing a surprise that will change Al-Sisi’s position of not running for presidency.” He did not disclose what it entails.

Mubarak’s last PM backs army’s Sisi for Egyptian president, and could run for presidency

Interview d’Ahmed Shafiq.

In an interview with Dream 2 television station, Shafiq said he would run for president if he had broad support but he would not contest an election if Sisi did.

“May God give him good fortune. We would all support him and I am the first one to support him,” said Shafiq, who came second to Mursi in the presidential election in 2012. “If Sisi is nominated I will not run.”

Shafiq was one of an array of candidates who ran in last year’s election, the first time Egyptians freely chose their head of state. The vote was preceded by months of frenzied campaigning, in stark contrast to now.

Even if Sisi does not run, analysts say the military will remain at the heart of power, curbing the influence of the next head of state.

Hamdeen Sabahi, a leftist politician who came third in the 2012 election, has also said Sisi would win, while sidestepping questions on his own intentions.

Analysts have suggested retired or serving military officers would run. Sisi was head of military intelligence under Hosni Mubarak. Former Arab League chief Amr Moussa, who came fifth in the election, is also seen as a possible contender.

The Brotherhood has accused Sisi of trying to rehabilitate the old order that ran Egypt for 30 years under Mubarak.

U.S. loses focus on Egypt - Edito The Washington Post

▻http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/us-loses-focus-on-egypt/2013/09/05/c5f545ca-162f-11e3-804b-d3a1a3a18f2c_print.html

THE DEBATE over Syria has obscured another critical decision about Middle East policy that President Obama and Congress must soon make: whether to sustain aid to the military-backed government that has been consolidating power in Egypt. An administration policy review was nearing completion when the chemical weapons attack near Damascus was detected; as we understand it, the options include a substantial cut in the $1.3 billion in annual U.S. aid provided to the Egyptian armed forces. (...) it is important that Mr. Obama act soon. While Washington has been fixed on Syria, the Egyptian regime of Gen. Abdel Fatah al-Sissi has moved steadily toward constructing an autocracy that would reverse Egypt’s 2011 revolution and its subsequent move toward democracy.
(...)
In some respects, Egypt already is less free than it was during the last years of Mubarak. (...)
The Obama administration has been pressing the government to reconcile with the Islamists, release Mr. Morsi and other political prisoners and carry out a transition to a genuine democracy. That these appeals are ignored while the government indulges in grotesque anti-American propaganda (...)Not just Syria but Egypt requires a “shot across the bow”; Mr. Obama should take it before it is too late.

« Il n’a pas besoin de nous donner des ordres, s’extasie une éditorialiste encline à voir en Al-Sissi la réincarnation de l’icône panarabe. Il lui suffit de cligner de l’oeil ou de battre des cils ».
Mohamed, jeune enseignant désabusé : « Qu’il se nomme Hosni Moubarak, Mohamed Morsi ou Abdel Fattah al-Sissi, vous trouverez toujours ici des gens avides d’embrasser le portrait du chef, soupire-t-il. Peu éduqué, facile à manipuler, notre peuple a le don de fabriquer des pharaons. » On ne saurait mieux dire : certains zélotes tiennent le général pour l’héritier d’Ahmosis Ier, pionnier, une quinzaine de siècles avant l’ère chrétienne, de l’apogée de l’Egypte antique.
(...) « Al-Sissi a mis nos bulletins de vote à la poubelle, accuse ce réceptionniste. Il devrait être jugé pour haute trahison. »
