Boubacar Keita has won Mali’s presidential election after his opponent, Soumaila Cissé, conceded defeat on Monday. Keita has vowed to restore order following last year’s military coup and the takeover of large swaths of Mali’s north by separatist and Islamist rebels. The turmoil prompted French troops and a small number of U.S. forces to deploy to Mali. The United Nations recently launched a peacekeeping mission there.
