With the Barack Obama inauguration as the President of the United States of America, a lot of repercussions around the world took place. A BBC article tried to collect the different feelings around the world.
In Kenya and Indonesia, for example, where he has lived before, there is a felling of proud and hope showed in festivities and celebrations. In Kenya, banners say “congratulations our son, our hope."
In Jerusalem and Iraq the people can not deny their feelings of hope about Obama’s presidency; in Jerusalem there is a “a sense of what he is not: he is not George W Bush, the president often described as "Israel's best friend".And in Iraq, its support was based on the anti-war policy Obama expressed during his campaign. “Now he faces the challenge of making good on that pledge”, a BBC correspondent in Iraq said.
In Russia, however, almost no one expects a better relation neither between Russia and the U.S.A, nor with the rest of the world , where indifference seems to be the common reaction. Some poeple say that may be they are more realistic, and a BBC correspondent over there pointed out “The Kremlin still views diplomacy as a zero sum game - any American gain is a Russian loss”.
