New Somali president sworn in

Sheikh Sharif Sharif Ahmed,has been sworn in as the new president of Somalia just months after his Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia (ARS) signed a peace deal with the transitional government.The ceremony in neighbouring Djibouti on Saturday came after Ahmed, who also led the Islamic Courts Union, won a run-off parliamentary vote.
The new president's Islamic courts movement ruled Mogadishu and most of southern Somalia for six months before being ousted by the Ethiopian military at the end of 2006.
Ahmed easily defeated Maslah Mohamed Siad, son of ex-president Mohamed Siad Barre, in Saturday morning's second round of voting, winning 293 votes to Siad's 126.
"People here in Mogadishu have taken to the streets," Mohamed Nur, a Somali journalist based in Mogadishu, told Al Jazeera. "They were very much supporting the [new] leader Sheikh Sharif.""They think he is the best leader ever [to be] chosen as president of Somalia since 1960, when the country gained independence," he said.,,more..http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2009/01/200913191343772174.html
