More than 200,000 strike against Colombia's Duque: What's next?TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_Colombians awoke on Friday energised by the mass anti-government protests of the day before and eager to see how a tense national situation would develop.

Isolated clashes with police continued through Friday morning, according to local media. The organisers of Thursday's rallies, which drew hundreds of thousands in Colombia's largest protests in recent memory, called for a repeat on Monday.

But Colombian President Ivan Duque declined to offer any concessions in a late-night address on Thursday, leaving unanswered the looming question of whether Colombia will join its South American neighbours in prolonged social unrest to affect change in the government.
