Weah sworn in as Liberia president
 

MONROVIA: George Weah, the former international soccer star who won the presidency of Liberia last month, promised a crackdown on corruption as he was sworn in on Monday. Thousands of exuberant supporters and regional presidents and dignitaries packed into a stadium in the capital Monrovia to watch as Weah, who rose from the city´s slums to become one of Africa´s greatest footballers, took the oath of office. His swearing in marks Liberia´s first peaceful, democratic transition of power in over seven decades. Weah rode to a landslide run-off victory last month on the back of heavy support from the youth and the poor.
