Sisi and democracy

"Will Gen el-Sisi call elections soon? It is possible he will after making sure that he has crushed the Muslim Brotherhood and taken it out of Egypt’s political equation. This explains the ferocity with which he has gone after the demonstrators and, especially the leadership of the Brotherhood.
It is highly unlikely Gen el-Sisi would validate an election won by the Islamists.
The men in uniform, with the knowing wink of Washington, are back in power which they missed sorely for two long years following the overthrow of their mentor, Mr Mubarak. The men in grey suits are puppets! And, you cannot trust Washington." (thanks Buush)
