In the capital of Indonesia, Jakarta, the new president of the country was sworn in. He is Prabowo Subianto, a 73-year-old former general. He will replace outgoing leader Joko Widodo. The latter had been in power for ten years and thus took over the reins of the world's fourth most populous country.
For reference
Prabowo used to be a supporter of Indonesia's non-aligned foreign policy, but he has made it clear that he will act more boldly on the world stage.
Former military leaders accuse Prabowo of having ordered the kidnapping of democratic activists under the regime of dictator Suharto in the late 1990s as head of a special forces unit.
