STORYLINE
Charismatic former pop star Michel Martelly has been inaugurated as Haiti's new president.
Part of his election promise is to rebuild the county's earthquake-devastated capital, develop the long-neglected countryside and build a modern army.
The 50-year-old performer known to Haitians as "Sweet Micky" was swept to power in a March 20 presidential runoff by Haitians tired of past leaders who failed to provide even basic services.
Decent roads, water and electricity are severely lacking in the Western Hemisphere's poorest country.
Martelly was sworn in the capital Port-au-Prince on Saturday during a power outage in front of dozens of dignitaries including former US President Bill Clinton, the UN's special envoy to Haiti, and Edmond Mulet, head of the UN mission that has maintained order in Haiti since 2004.
Also present was Desi Bouterse, the president of Suriname who is on trial for the 1982 executions of 15 political opponents.
Former Haiti President Rene Preval took off the presidential sash and put it on Martelly as they shook hands and embraced, but did not say anything to each other.
Martelly's wife, Sophia, then came on stage and adjusted the sash as their four children joined them, one of whom kissed Martelly before they stepped down from the stage.
Martelly did not speak as he left Parliament for the National Palace, where was to deliver a speech.
Outside the gated Parliament, more than 1-thousand Martelly supporters gathered, some hanging from nearby trees to take photographs of their new president.
