Evariste Ndayishimiye Sworn In as Burundi's New President

VOA News

   Evariste Ndayishimiye was sworn in as Burundi's new president Thursday
   at the Ingoma stadium in the capital city, Gitegay, a week after the
   sudden death of outgoing President Pierre Nkurunziza.

   Ndayishimiye was originally scheduled to be sworn into office in
   August, but the Constitutional Court ruled last week that
   Ndayishimiye's swearing take place as soon as possible following the
   death of his predecessor.
