Egypt's Sisi cleared for presidential bid

  • 10 years ago
Egypt's top generals have cleared the way for army chief Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to run for president, setting the stage for him to declare his candidacy in the coming days.

The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, the country's highest military body, called the move a "mandate and an obligation" requested by "broad masses" of the public.
