Ethiopian troops fighting militants in neighboring Somalia will soon return home, Ethiopia\'s prime minister said on Tuesday. Meles Zenawi said regions of Somalia currently controlled by Ethiopian forces will be handed over to troops from Burundi, Kenya, Djibouti and Rwanda, AP reports. Troops of the first three countries are stationed in Somalia as part of the African Union peacekeeping force. Meles said the Ethiopian mission had accomplished \"very good results\" in fighting Al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab militants. Ethiopian troops moved into Somalia at the beginning of the year to aid the Somali transitional government and help weaken Shabab insurgents.
