Hillary is not welcome by Egyptian youth leaders

"The Coalition of the Youth of the 25 January Revolution rejected an invitation to attend a meeting with U.S. Secretary of the State Hillary Clinton, who is beginning a two-day visit to Egypt and Tunisia Tuesday, announced the coalition on its Facebook page on Monday.  “As we are keen on working in a transparent manner, with the masses of the revolution, the Coalition announces that it has received an invitation to meet with the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and due to her negative stance towards the revolution during its inception and the approach of the US Administration towards the Middle East Region, we decided to refuse this invitation,” the statement of the Coalition said, without clarifying any other reasons for turning down the invitation."
