Algerian President Bouteflika takes the oath


epa04183691 Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, re-elected for a fourth mandate, during the oath of office in Algiers, Algeria, 28 April 2014. Bouteflika was sworn in for a fourth term in a wheelchair. Bouteflika, who was reelected in April 17 elections, appeared stronger than in recent appearances but still fatigued as he took the oath of office in a televised ceremony at the Palais des Nations convention centre. The 77-year-old leader’s quest for another five years in office, despite being too weak to campaign after suffering a stroke last year, had divided Africa’s biggest gas producer. EPA/MOHAMED MESSARA
