Ex-military chief sworn in as Egypt’s president

Supporters of Egypt's former military chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi react to the official announcement declaring him the next president of Egypt with 96.9 percent of the vote, and a turnout of 47.45 percent, in Alexandria, Egypt, Tuesday, June 3, 2014. El-Sissi's victory was never in doubt, but the career infantry officer had pushed for a massive turnout as well to bestow legitimacy on his ouster last July of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi and the ensuing crackdown on his Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist supporters.

Boys walk by a donkey cart used by a scrap collector making his rounds in Cairo's neighborhood of Dar el-Salam, Egypt, Thursday, May 29, 2014. "El-Sissi will leave no one wanting!" the 50-year-old shopkeeper in a Cairo slum barked when a younger man criticized the victor of Egypt's presidential election, former army chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. The heated argument shows the limits of the retired field marshal's landslide amid a generational divide. Many older voters embraced him enthusiastically. But among the young, ambitions for change have been unleashed, and even those who voted for el-Sissi have low expectations he will fulfill them. (AP Photo/Mahmoud Bakkar)
