Egypt gets dumped by its Washington lobbyists | The Cable
All three of the lobbying firms representing the Egyptian government in Washington, D.C., dropped Egypt as a client late Friday amid widespread criticism of the ruling military council’s raid of U.S. NGOs in Cairo and its refusal to let American NGO workers leave the country.
