MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - A top Ugandan army commander cautioned Monday against declaring victory over Somali insurgents, while hundreds of people streamed back to the war-ravaged capital two days after the government said Islamic fighters had been defeated.
In Eritrea, a top Islamic leader and a politician fired as parliamentary speaker called for more sophisticated attacks against Ethiopian troops and African Union peacekeepers backing Somalia's fragile government.
After weeks of fighting that killed hundreds of people, President Abdullah Yusuf declared victory over the insurgents Saturday and urged residents to return home. But a top commander of Ugandan peacekeepers said it was too early for talk of victory.
