FILE - In this Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014 file photo released on the official Facebook page of the Egyptian Military Spokesman of the Armed Forces, Egyptian army chief Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, second right, and Egypt's Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy, center background, prepare to depart to Moscow from a military airport, in Cairo, Egypt. Former military chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, if he wins Egypt’s presidency as is widely expected, will have an overwhelming presence over a shattered political scene. Egypt’s once dominant political force, the Muslim Brotherhood, is exhausted under a relentless crackdown. Non-Islamist parties are weak and largely acquiescent to his power. But the political vacuum is hardly a stable one. The Brotherhood is betting that with time the public will turn against el-Sissi.
