Anyone examining the scene in Egypt will discover that al-Sisi is facing a personal crisis. On one hand, running for the presidency would open the door for his enemies to attack him and undermine the events of June 30. They could seize the opportunity to spread the idea that a military coup took place and Sisi is just another general looking to squash the emerging democracy. On the other hand, the current circumstances are not only suitable for him to run, but large numbers of supporters are also urging his campaign.
The Egyptian political scene is divided into four sections: the army, Islamists, revolutionary powers, and the old state.
