Ashraf Ghani sworn in as Afghan president
Ashraf Ghani has been sworn is as the new president of Afghanistan in a lavish ceremony at the presidential palace in Kabul, ending months of turmoil over a fraud tainted election.
The former finance minister was inaugurated in a grand event on Monday marking the country's first democratic transfer of power since the fall of the Taliban in 2001.
"I am not better than anyone from among you. If I do any good, give me your support. If I go wrong, set me right,'' Ghani said.
