CAIRO - Egypt's military says the nation's top soldier will, if he decides to run for president, announce his intention in an address to the 'glorious people of Egypt,' not through a third party.
Military Spokesman Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali was responding to comments attributed by a Kuwaiti daily to Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi that he had made up his mind to run for president.

El-Sissi is widely expected to run for president, but he has yet to announce his candidacy. Speculations are rife that he will do so in a televised address to the nation later this month.
The spokesman described what Kuwait's al-Seyassah attributed to el-Sissi as the daily's own 'interpretation' and not 'direct comments' by the military chief.
Ali's statement was posted Thursday on his official Facebook page.
