Somalia's president of the now expired Transitional Federal Government Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed speaks at the swearing-in ceremony of Somalia's new parliament at Adan Ade international airport in the capital Mogadishu on August 20, 2012. War-torn Somalia's new parliament was sworn in today on the tarmac of the capital's airport in a ceremony protected by African Union troops, the latest bid to end two decades of conflict. However, the election of a new president was delayed. Lawmakers said the process would begin in a "few days", with multiple candidates vying in a fierce race to unseat incumbent President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed. The swearing-in, the culmination of a UN-backed process in which lawmakers were chosen by a group of 135 traditional elders, brought an official end to Somalia's transitional government after eight years of political infighting and rampant corruption.
