On Sunday, a large number of demonstrators gathered outside the US consulate in the city to denounce Washington’s interference in their country's internal affairs, Reuters reported.
"We are, first of all, opposed to the American visit to Egypt. Why? Because they (Americans) are trying to pressure on the new presidential institution. And we fundamentally cannot accept any interference in Egyptian affairs," a protester said.
