(fixes typo in lead)NAIROBI, June 7 (Reuters) - Ethiopia's prime minister arrived in Khartoum on Friday to meet the chief of Sudan's ruling military council in a bid to mediate in the political crisis that has followed the overthrow of President Omar al-Bashir in April. "Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, together with his delegation, arrived in Khartoum, Sudan, this morning for talks," Abiy's office said on Twitter. A diplomatic source said on Thursday that Ethiopia planned to meet members of both the ruling Transitional Military Council headed by Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the opposition. The Ethiopian initiative follows the worst bloodshed in Sudan since Bashir was ousted by the military after four months of protests against his repressive three-decade rule. The opposition says 108 people were killed in the storming of a civilian protest camp on Monday and a subsequent wider crackdown.
