Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir speaks during a joint news conference with his South Sudanese counterpart Salva Kiir (not pictured) before his departure at Khartoum Airport October 9, 2011. Sudan and South Sudan will resolve their disagreements through dialogue, al-Bashir and Kiir said, but gave no hint of any progress after several meetings on Saturday, which included discussions on Abyei and oil. Kiir arrived on Saturday in Khartoum on his first visit since South Sudan seceded in July from its former civil war foe. REUTERS/Mohamed Nureldin Abdallah (SUDAN - Tags: ENERGY POLITICS HEADSHOT)
