STORYLINE:
Uganda appeared calm on Sunday after 3 days of riots in which 14 people were killed, scores injured and 500 arrested.
Scores of soldiers and police were patrolling the streets of Kampala in pickup trucks and on foot following the riots.
A government official claimed that life in Kampala "has now returned to normal."
"Government of Uganda wishes to reassure the public that the situation in parts of Kampala that were affected by actions of violent hooliganism, has now returned to normal," said David Migreko.
Meanwhile top police official Kale Kaihura declared that "any rioter or hooligan who threatens other people, whether in their homes, whether in public places, whether on the road will be shot on sight."
The clashes since Thursday have been between the government and members of Buganda, one of Uganda's four ancient kingdoms.
Members of the Buganda ethnic group have clashed previously with the government over land rights.
The government had prevented a representative of Buganda King Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II from travelling to a region near the capital Thursday on "security grounds."
Many saw it as an insult to the king.
In addition to the fatalities, 95 people were wounded and more than 500 suspects were detained, Kaihura said on Saturday.
