Ivory Coast Inaugurates New President

With the formal inaguration of Ivory Coast President Allasane Ouattara there is strong hope for a new page after all the turmoil that the country has faced in recent months as well as the past. Hundreds were killed following the vote that took place in November and it is said that 10 mass graves have been found outside the comericial capital city of Abidjan. This country has had a long standing ethnic and tribal divide that has sustained itself since the end colonialism in the country, which has led to the death of a great deal of people. With all this in minds of the people of the country there is definetely a strong positive hope that is seen in the newly inagurated President that will hopefully bring peace.
