CAIRO — The military chief who ousted Egypt's elected president called on the public Wednesday to take to the streets to give him and the police a mandate
to tackle "violence and terrorism," in an address that pointed to a possible move against supporters of the Islamist leader.
The call by Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, made in a speech to a graduation ceremony for military cadets, underlined how the military chief is the source of real
power in Egypt despite the creation of a civilian government after the July 3 coup that removed Mohammed Morsi.
