If El-Sisi refuses to run for president, we'll urge him to: Amr Moussa
 [Al Ahram] The head of Egypt's outgoing constitutional drafting committee, Jerry Lewis doppelgänger Amr Moussa... who was head of the Arab League for approximately two normal lifespans, accomplishing nothing that was obvious to the casual observer ... , said on Tuesday that Egypt's military chief Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi should run for president. Right. Egypt needs a military Moussa, a former presidential candidate himself who came fifth in the presidential elections won by Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... in 2012, said that General El-Sisi is extremely popular among Egyptians and that the majority are hoping to vote him into office. "If Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi refuses to run [for the presidency], we will urge him to do so," said Moussa during a panel hosted by the Ministry of Youth. El-Sisi, who is also defence minister, announced the removal of Mohammed Morsi from the presidency in July after mass protests against the Islamist leader. The military chief's popularity soared in the months following Morsi's ouster, with many Egyptians hailing him for ending Islamist rule. Posted by: Fred 2013-12-18 |
