Somalia's new president, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, has been sworn in following a long-delayed election.
Mohamud, who previously served as president from 2012 to 2017, defeated incumbent Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo in a second round of voting on Sunday.
The election was the culmination of a long and difficult process that was marred by violence and delays.
Mohamud is the 10th president of Somalia since the country's civil war began in 1991.
He is a former academic and peace activist who has been credited with helping to bring stability to Somalia during his first term as president.
Mohamud has pledged to unite Somalia and to fight against the al-Shabab terrorist group.
He has also promised to improve the lives of ordinary Somalis by providing them with access to education, healthcare, and jobs.
Mohamud's election is seen as a positive step for Somalia, which has been struggling to rebuild itself after decades of civil war.
His inauguration is a sign that the country is moving forward and that it is committed to democracy.
