DILI, East Timor, May 20, SPA -- Nobel Peace Prize winner Jose Ramos-Horta was sworn in as East Timor's second president on Sunday, vowing to unite the desperately poor nation just over a year after violence brought down its first government. Ramos-Horta was sworn in by Francisco "Lu-Olo" Guterres, the head of parliament whom he beat convincingly in elections earlier this month, the Associated Press reported. "I swear in the name of God and the people ... to consolidate freedom and national unity with all the energy that I have," Ramos-Horta said.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/451361
