GERMANIA, Honduras: Hondurans ushered in 2016 on Friday by burning symbols of last year's problems – an effigy of President Juan Orlando Hernandez among them.

Wooden representations of a former president, Rafael Callejas, who was also an ex-football chief caught up in the FIFA corruption scandal, and symbols of government graft and violence also went up in flames overnight.

The New Year tradition, held across cities and towns in the Central American nation, is meant to burn away the "bad things" of the passing year to make way for the new, positive ones.
