Kyrgyzstan swears in caretaker president

Kyrgyzstan’s provisional leader Roza Otunbayeva has been sworn in as president, ushering in what the government hopes will be a new era of stability and democratic freedoms.

Otunbayeva said at her inauguration today that her government would do everything in its power to ensure the country overcame the consequences of the ethnic bloodshed that last month claimed hundreds of lives.
