[QUOTE]Clinton had to cut short her trip for fear she would be stranded in Addis Ababa as a cloud of ash from a volcano in neighbouring Eritrea moves across the region.

She met briefly with a northern official and then with south Sudan leader Salva Kiir before heading for the airport.

Posing for the cameras with Kiir before their meeting she told him: "I was hoping to spend a long time talking to you, but I'm being chased by a volcano."

Clinton, who had intended to stay in Addis Ababa until Tuesday afternoon, had not planned to meet with Sudan President Omar al-Bashir. He is wanted for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes by the International Criminal Court in The Hague but refuses to recognise its authority, though his travels have been severely restricted.Bashir and Kiir have since Sunday been in talks here aimed at resolving the crises in Abyei and another border region, South Kordofan, one month ahead of the south's independence.
