FILE - In this file photo taken Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2014, an Egyptian woman wears a t-shirt with a photo of Egypt's Defense Minister Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi outside a polling station on the first day of voting in the country's constitutional referendum 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. (AP Photo/Eman Helal, File)
