Afghan President to be sworn in

Afghanistan is preparing for President Hamid Karzai to be sworn in for a second term as the country\'s leader.



Western officials are hoping Mr. Karzai will use his inauguration speech to make commitments to reform.



Speaking in Kabul on the eve of today’s inauguration ceremony, US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton said the country is at a critical moment.



Mr. Karzai has come under growing pressure from Western officials to tackle corruption.



The inauguration will mark the end of an election process tainted by allegations of widespread fraud.



Mrs. Clinton said there is a window of opportunity for Mr. Karzai to demonstrate he’s going to improve the lives of Afghans.
