Maduro Sworn in While Recount Continues in Venezuela

Nicolas Maduro was sworn in as Venezuela's president, on Saturday.

Heads of states from Central and South America, as well as some Arab countries, were there for the inauguration.

Thousands celebrated in the streets, but others protested.

In the initial count, Maduro won with only 50.8% of the vote.

Eight people died in clashes between the two political sides.

Henrique Capriles, the opposition's candidate who took forty-nine percent of the vote, initiated the call for the recount.

He also called upon Venezuelans to continue protesting, but do so peacefully.
