In El Salvador, former
left wing rebel leader Salvador Sanchez Ceren has been sworn in as President.
Mr Sanchez, of the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front party, becomes the
first former guerrilla to lead the Central American country following his March
victory.
In his inauguration speech, he promised to fight
corruption and violence, and to govern for everybody.
El Salvador remains violent and deeply divided
despite the end of a civil war in which some 75,000 people died. Mr Sanchez
narrowly defeated the conservative candidate Norman Quijano by 0.2 per cent in
a run off vote on 9th March.
