马里政府确认易卜拉欣·凯塔在星期日的总统决选中获得压倒性胜利。

官方星期四公布的数据显示,曾出任过总理的凯塔赢得了77.6%的选票。他的对手、前财政部长苏迈拉·西塞只获得了略微超过22%的选票。西塞已经承认败选。

在确认凯塔胜选之前,2012年3月领导了一场政变的陆军上尉阿马杜·萨诺戈被越级擢升。

军方官员星期三说,临时政府已经把萨诺戈提拔为上将。这跨越了好几级军衔。

人权组织批评提升萨诺戈。人权观察说,不应该“奖励”萨诺戈,而是应该调查他参与了与政变有关的侵权行为的指称。

路透社说,外交人士说,这项提拔的目的是鼓动萨诺戈退役。

Mali's government has confirmed Ibrahim Boubacar Keita won a landslide victory in Sunday's presidential election runoff.

The government released figures on Thursday showing the former prime minister captured 77.6 percent of the vote.

His rival, former finance minister Soumaila Cisse, won just over 22 percent.  Cisse had already conceded defeat.

Confirmation of Mr. Keita's victory followed the announcement that the army captain who led a coup in March 2012 has received a huge promotion.

On Wednesday, military officials said the interim government had promoted Amadou Sanogo to general, a promotion that skips over several military ranks.

Rights groups have criticized the decision. Human Rights Watch says Sanogo, instead of being "rewarded," should be investigated for his alleged involvement in serious abuses linked to the coup.
