The Sudanese foreign minister has received a message from the assistant secretary-general for political affairs of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), Said Djinnit, concerning national reconciliation in Somalia, the official Sudan News Agency (SUNA) reported on 22 September. The message concerned the possibility of holding an Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) conference on Somalia in Khartoum, said SUNA. The conference, for which no date had yet been fixed, would be under the auspices of the presidents of Sudan and Djibouti, and the Ethiopian prime minister, said the agency. The Transitional National Government (TNG) was unaware of such a conference, a senior TNG official told IRIN.
