(AP) - Former rebel leader Pierre Nkurunziza holds in his right hand Burundi's national flag and another symbolizing the unity of Burundi's ethnic groups as he takes the presidential oath in parliament in the capital, Bujumbura, Friday, Aug. 26, 2005. For all of Africa's strides toward democracy after decades of living under dictatorships, violence and fraud have been a feature of many of its elections this year. But the continent also saw some of the real thing, and reason for hope. In Burundi, once a slaughterhouse of ethnic conflict, voters handed the former rebel leader the presidency in August, and he took office pledging to bring rival Hutus and Tutsis together.
