Is it sisi's time

Abdul Fattah El-Sisi has been shortlisted for Time magazine's 2013 Person of the Year. How will he compare to Morsi's sweeping win last year?

It's that time of the year again, when Time Magazine asks you to vote for their person of the year which, if the trend continues, is essentially Egypt's worst person of the year. Last year Morsi won the coveted title and cover page. This year, instead of Morsi being nominated the Egyptians have turned to their new leader Abdul Fattah El-Sisi.

As it stands, he has more votes than most of the nominees. Whether you like him or not, one thing is clear: Generalissimo Sisi is definitely an interesting person with probably more to say than Morsi, considering that they still gave Morsi the cover even after he compared politics to spaghetti.
