MOGADISHU, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Hundreds of Somalis burned tyres and threw stones on Saturday in protest at the presence of Ethiopian troops in Mogadishu, a week after the forces helped the interim government drive out Islamists, a witness said.

"All the businesses are closed. People are busy defending their businesses," said resident Abdi Nur.

Members of the Ugandan army (UPDF) undergo military drills at the Singo military training school, 42 miles (68 km) north of Kampala in this undated photograph. Uganda's strategic objective in sending peacekeepers to help pacify chaotic Somalia is to halt the flood of weapons fuelling conflict and banditry in other east African nations like itself, the army said on January 10, 2007.
