They refused her visit to the country and accused the US of backing the Muslim Brotherhood and adding pressure to Egypt’s military rulers to have him win. They called for protests outside the American Embassy in Cairo for 5 PM Saturday. “We are taking a stand for the people who rose [up] for freedom and so all American interference attempts are refused,” said the statement released on Thursday. The group said the Muslim Brotherhood and the US are “making deals and agreements in secret meetings.” The group accused the US of taking the Muslim group’s side over those of Egypt’s “Together we will expose the American-Muslim Brotherhood plan to buy and sell Egypt between them. Egypt is not the property of the Brotherhood nor it is a playing field for the Americans,” the statement added.
