In Mali,"spider-Man"becomes a French citizen-BBC news

I just got on Board and thank God you helped me

Mamadou gossamer received a lot of praise after climbing in front of a building to rescue a four-year-old childA video of him applauding the audience as he moves from balcony to balcony on the fourth floor. After meeting him at the Elysee Palace, President Emmanuel macron said that he is a naturalized citizen. He personally thanked Mr. Gossamer, presented him with a medal for bravery and said that he would also offer his role in the fire service. It is said that Mr. gossamer arrived in France last year and set out on a long and dangerous journey to Europe by ship across the Mediterranean and Italy. The drama that made him famous took place on a Saturday night on a street North of the city. Fortunately, there was someone who was physically healthy and had the courage to go up and take the child,"said one of the representatives. The father was questioned by the police because he was suspected of having abandoned his son a child without supervision, say judicial sources.

The more I climbed, the more courage I had,"he added

My mother was not in Paris at the time, they believe. Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo was among those who praised the summer's heroism, and told me that she called him to thank him. She called him"spider-Man,"referring to the Parisian neighborhood where the rescue took place, and called him"an example for all citizens."Mr. Gossamer's four-story retreat recalls another Malian hero who gained national prominence in January during an extremist attack on a Jewish supermarket in Paris. A young Malian drug addict, Lansana Bathily, was honored with saving the lives of six hostages, including a child, when he led them to a safe shelter, escaped, and then dispatched gendarmes to rescue them. Two weeks later-after six years of fighting to protect legal residency in France - Mr. Bathily received a medal and a French passport from then-President Francois Hollande.

In it, he wrote the book Je ne ne quotes pas-ONU heroes (I don't hero) and founded a charity whose first project was to provide irrigation water for his rural home in Western Mali.

Bathily selflessly tried to rescue the hostages, Mr.

gossamer heroically went up to rescue the boy and cemented the image of Mali as a country with a changing culture of old-fashioned communal spirit.
