Former Field Marshall and presidential hopeful Abdel Fattah al-Sisi appeared on television for the first time in an extended interview on May 5 and May 6 of 2014. The interview was conducted by two leading presenters in Egyptian media who championed the ouster of former present Mohamed Morsi, Ibrahim Eissa, known to have been an opponent of Hosni Mubarak, and Lamis al-Hadidi, known to have been a supporter of his National Democratic Party. The interview covered various topics and for the very first time, Egyptians were privy to the man they celebrated as the hero of Morsi’s removal. Seeing Sisi speak out on many topics for the first time, much more can be inferred about him.
