On Kerry's agenda smoothing over us relations with Egypt.
Urge Egyptian politicians to work together to fix the countries collapsing economy.
And try to find a way to help end the violence in Syria.
Egyptians protested the secretary's visit claiming the us is supporting Egypt's Islamist President Mohammed Morsi just like it once backed former leader Hosni Mubarak.
