BENTOL, Liberia (AP) — More than 30 years after her father was slain in a bloody coup, the daughter of former Liberia President William Tolbert has been sworn in as the new mayor of Bentol, her family’s base and a town that has played an outsized role in the West African nation’s political history.

At an inauguration event over the weekend, 70-year-old Christine Tolbert Norman promised “speedy development” modeled on the work of her father.
