          Former rebel leader and born-again Christian Pierre Nkurunziza has been sworn in as Burundi's new president.

          Pierre Nkurunziza has some tough challenges ahead

          He was elected by parliament last week, after his Forces for the Defence of Democracy (FDD) won elections earlier this year to both the Senate and the National Assembly.

          The FDD was until recently the largest rebel group fighting the Burundi government.

          6. After 10 years of conflict between ethnic Hutu rebels and the Tutsi-dominated army, the FDD joined the peace process in November 2003 paving the way for its entry into government.

          Mr Nkurunziza, 41, arrived in Bujumbura in November 2004, to take up his post of minister for good governance.

          He belongs to the younger generation of Hutu leaders, whose political and military careers started after the killing of Hutu President Melchior Ndadaye by disgruntled soldiers in 1993.
