MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somalia's prime minister swept into Mogadishu in an armoured convoy on Friday a day after his Ethiopian-backed forces drove Islamist rivals from the city they had ruled by sharia law since June. 

Ali Mohamed Gedi's arrival in a 22-car convoy, including six pick-ups mounted with heavy weaponry, crowned a dramatic turnaround in the Horn of Africa country after an Ethiopian invasion by land and air to combat the Islamists.
