Honduran president sworn into office for 2nd term


(CNN) Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was sworn in for a second term on Saturday in the country's capital, Tegucigalpa, as protestors outside the inauguration ceremony challenged the legitimacy of his election. The ceremony at the Tiburcio Carias Andino national stadium took place under heavy security, and police in riot gear outside the stadium used tear gas to control protestors. Army soldiers and riot police clashed with protestors outside of the second inauguration of President Juan Orlando Hernandez on Saturday. Hernandez's re-election prompted days of unrest and protests that turned deadly on several occasions, forcing the government to impose a nightly curfew in December. The administration of Hernández has also been dogged by allegations of corruption and drug trafficking.
