The Over-The-Top First Campaign Video From Egypt's Former Top General
A guide to how to glorify military rule, in the form of a video created by an unofficial group supporting Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi released hours after Sisi announced he would be running for president.
A campaign rally for Gen. Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi has been called for Friday, but his fans have already made him this unofficial campaign video.
In the video Sisi is shown leading Egypt's army in a steady jog.
And kissing thankful older men.
There is generally a lot of patriotic shots of Egypt's army, and Sisi leading them into victory.
It's hard to hear but she is saying, "Oh Sisi, all Egyptians love."
And then she has a message for Barack Obama and former U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Ann Patterson. She's singing, "We refuse interference in our internal affairs."
And in case you were wondering, she lays down the line again on what to call military ouster of the Brotherhood: "June 30 was a popular revolution not a military coup... We pray that our president will be Field Marshal Abdel Sisi."
