New Zambian President Promises Bold Agenda 

LUSAKA - New Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema took office on Tuesday, 12 days after defeating incumbent Edgar Lungu in a general election. 

VOA's Peter Clottey sat down with Hichilema before Tuesday's inauguration to discuss goals for his five-year term.  Hichilema covered a wide range of topics and promised to improve a poor economy, defend human rights, and have better relations regionally and with Washington.    Excerpts from the 55-minute interview: VOA: What would you want to have achieved within the first 100 days?  Hichilema: One, we want to reunite this country. This country has been divided for so many years and the divisions are visible. You just have to look anywhere, you see them in the workplaces, in the market areas, divisions all over.
