The opposition is threatening to call for new street demonstrations at the end of the month-long truce it has decreed. It ends next week.

The Coalitions of opposition political parties and social forces say they have received no proposals from the government during this period to ease the socio-political tension.

Sources say that the religious leaders mediating between the opposition and the government could resume mediation next week.
