ASUU MAY HEAL THE STRIKE TODAY

   

Association of Staff Union of Universities may heal their persisting four-month-hold 
 industrial strike today. This is realized due to the invitation for dialogue the president sent last week, to hold an indoor meeting with the head of ASUU today. The meeting is the preview of hope that may rise probably this week, so ASUU may end their strike and students resume to school afterward.
   However the association has urged the president, in case there is no positive outlook, there is should be no threat to forceful re-open the Universities in the country because it may end up with no avail.

Textile, ...
