STORYLINE:
Afghan President Hamid Karzai was inaugurated on Wednesday after appointing a cabinet for an 18-month transitional administration.
Joined in a simple ceremony by Chief Justice Fazil Hadi Oshinwari, Karzai vowed to protect the freedom of Afghanistan and uphold the laws of government.
Service medals were later awarded to UN Envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad and General John McColl, outgoing ISAF commander.
Resolving the dicey issue of his executive Cabinet, the Afghan leader earlier reappointed the interim government's defence and foreign ministers and named an ethnic Pashtun governor from eastern Afghanistan as interior minister.
Karzai also appointed his top adviser, Ashraf Ghani, as finance minister.
The appointments address a key concern of many delegates to the loya jirga, or grand council.
The top three Cabinet posts were dominated by ethnic Tajiks from the Panjshir Valley who had been part of the northern alliance of opposition groups that fought the Taliban militia.
Key appointments included defence minister Mohammed Fahim, the prickly Panjshiri who controls many of the northern alliance forces still in Kabul.
Fahim was also named a deputy president.
Also reappointed as foreign minister was Dr. Abdullah, Fahim's fellow Tajik, who had been the northern alliance's main public face during the final weeks of its campaign to retake Kabul.
The other Panjshiri who had held office in the interim cabinet, Yunus Qanooni, was named education minister.
A Pashtun, Taj Mohammed Wardak, was named interior minister.
