  • 12 years ago
Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, made her first visit to Egypt since the first democratically elected president was inaugurated. Clinton has met with the two central players in the power struggle playing out in Egypt. On Saturday, she held her first meeting with President Mohamed Morsi. He was sworn in two weeks ago as Egypt's first democratically elected President. Morsi is an Islamist who emerged from the country's long-oppressed Muslim Brotherhood movement.
