Egyptians Protest Clinton's Visit

According to Reuters, the protesters gathered outside the presidential palace on Saturday as Clinton sat down with Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi to discuss Egypt's new developments.

As Clinton's convoy left the presidential palace, protesters lined the streets and chanted anti-US slogans.

The demonstrators said that they were opposed to US efforts to control and potentially divide Egypt.

Sami al-Laithy, a former prisoner in the US-run Guantanamo Bay detention camp, also attended the demonstration.

The protesters voiced their opposition to US attempt to force Egypt to appease Zionist regime and do its bidding.

Protester Mervat Morsi said “So today Hillary Clinton has come to deliver America's diktat to Morsi… to carry out their orders, whether to do with the formation of a government, or to surrender land in the north of Sinai to Hamas and settle the Palestinians there, so that Zionist regime can take all of Palestine's land. And we cannot accept that."

Later in the day, at a joint press conference with Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr at the US Embassy, Clinton claimed that the US administration supports Egypt's efforts to make a full transition to civilian rule.

As Clinton addressed the media, a large and vocal crowd carrying anti-US signs massed outside the US Embassy.
