(SomaliNet) SomaliÂ’s interim Prime Minister Ali Mohammed Gedi Saturday has gone to the Sudanese capital of Khartoum for talks with the officials of that country over the current political crisis in Somalia. His visit to Khartoum came after receiving an invitation from President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir. Several ministers were accompanying Mr. Gedi for his trip to Sudan.
He is due to brief to president Al-Bashir about the political events relating to the African Union plans of peace keeping deployment in Somalia at the end of this month.

Abdirahman Dinari, the government spokesman told the local media that the premierÂ’s visit to Khartoum is not related to any talks between the ousted Islamists and the transitional federal government.
There is continuing international pressure on the transitional federal government to enter talks with moderate Islamists like Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, the leader of the faded out Islamic Courts Union. Sheik Ahmed, who is reportedly in Nairobi, Kenya since he got his ass handed to him in battle with the Aethiops, is believed to a key actor that can play a positive role in seeking solution for the current problem in Somalia.
