FILE - In this Saturday, Jan. 25, 2014 file photo, Egyptians wave a giant poster of Egypt's Defense Minister, Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi in Tahrir Square, the epicenter of the 2011 uprising, in Cairo, Egypt. The head of Egypt’s military, Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, is riding on a wave of popular fervor that is almost certain to carry him to election as president. Unknown only two years ago, a broad sector of Egyptians now hail him as the nation’s savior after he ousted the Islamists from power, and the state-backed personality cult around him is so eclipsing, it may be difficult to find a candidate to oppose him if he runs. Still, if he becomes president, he faces the tough job of ruling a deeply divided nation that has already turned against two leaders. (AP Photo/Amr Nabil, File)
