Former
international football star George Weah was sworn in as Liberia’s new
president on Monday, in the country’s first transition between
democratically-elected leaders since 1944.

Weah, 51, took over
from Nobel laureate Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who spent 12 years at the
helm, steering the West African nation away from the trauma of a civil
war.
