Former Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Sami Anan described Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, defense minister, as ‘hard worker’ and military as ‘one family’. He also said that he enjoys a good relationship with Sisi.
In an interview with the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, Anan denied news circulated over the past days over making his decision regarding presidency. He added that the decision on standing for presidential elections is possible and is being mulled and that it will be declared soon after door for nomination is open.
