Tunisia's Islamist premier Ali Larayedh called an extraordinary cabinet meeting for Wednesday ahead of the start of a hard-won national dialogue, amid growing expectations he will announce his government's resignation.
Mediators hope the long-awaited dialogue will bring an end to the political paralysis gripping Tunisia since the July killing of opposition MP Mohamed Brahmi, an attack blamed on radical Islamists, and mark a crucial step in the country's democratic transition.
Larayedh's office said on Tuesday that he would make a statement after the meeting, at around 11:00 GMT.
