France Offers Malian Migrant Citizenship After Heroic Rescue
This is What's Trending Today...
He has been called "France's Spiderman" by the media. And to French President Emmanuel Macron, he is a "hero."
His name, though, is Mamoudou Gassama. He is a 22-year-old undocumented migrant from Mali. He arrived in Europe in 2014 and came to France last September.
On Saturday evening, Gassama was in a Paris neighborhood with his girlfriend. He noticed a crowd of people gathered on a street. He looked up from the crowd and saw a small, young child hanging high above from a building.
Gassama immediately crossed the street and, "without thinking twice," he said, he began climbing up the building. He moved from balcony to balcony. Then, he quickly and expertly pulled the child to safety.
The child, a four-year-old boy, had been left unattended by his father.
The crowd below screamed and cheered. Some took videos of the rescue, which they then put on social media. Many of those videos went viral.
Soon, Gassama's actions were known around the world.
Gassama showed no fear as he climbed. Yet, he told the VOA Bambara service, after the rescue, "I was shaking and couldn't stand on my feet. I was so shaken by what I did."
On Monday, Gassama was invited to meet with Macron. He told the French leader about the rescue. He also told him about his own path to Europe.
Gassama left Mali as a teenager, crossed the Sahara Desert and made it to Libya. From there, he tried to take a boat to Italy. The first time, he said, authorities caught and jailed him before sending him to Niger. He tried one more time. This time, he made it to Italy.
He left Italy for France last year to join his older brother, who already lived in Paris.
Macron told Gassama, "Because this is an exceptional act...we are obviously, today, going to regularize all your papers."
The president also said he would offer Gassama French citizenship and a job as a firefighter.
The special treatment for Gassama comes as France is preparing to remove about 2,400 migrants from temporary camps in Paris. The forced closure of the camps has led to a heated debate between city leaders and national politicians.
Another Malien, Lassana Bathily, was given French citizenship in 2015. He saved lives by hiding people in a freezer during a terror attack on a Jewish food store where he worked.

非洲移民见义勇为获法国公民身份
这里是《今日热点》节目。
他被媒体誉为“法国蜘蛛侠”。法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙（Emmanuel Macron）称赞他是一个“英雄”。
不过，他的名字叫马穆杜·贾沙玛（Mamoudou Gassam）。22岁的他是一位来自马里的非法移民。他2014年抵达欧洲后于去年9月来到法国。
周六晚间，贾沙玛和女友在巴黎某街区逛街时注意到一条街上围了一群人。他抬头望去，看到一名儿童悬挂在高楼边缘。
贾沙玛说，自己没有丝毫犹豫立刻穿过街道，开始攀爬大楼。他从一个阳台攀爬到另一个阳台。然后迅速并熟练地把孩子带至安全地带。
这名4岁的孩子因父亲疏于照顾而置身险境。
楼下的人群尖叫着、欢呼着，有些路人还拍下了营救的过程，后来视频被发布在社交媒体上。各种版本的视频迅速传播开来。
很快，贾沙玛的见义勇为之举在全球广为人知。
贾沙玛攀爬大楼时毫无畏惧。不过，事后他告诉美国之音，“其实，当时的我瑟瑟发抖，几乎站不稳。我都被自己的举动吓到了。”
本周一，法国总统接见了贾沙玛。他向总统讲述了营救过程，还讲述了自己前往欧洲的路程。
年少的贾沙玛横穿撒哈拉大沙漠，成功抵达利比亚。他还试图从利比亚乘船前往意大利。他说，首次想非法过境时遭当局逮捕并监禁，然后把他遣返至尼日尔。后来他再次尝试过境，成功抵达了意大利。
去年，他从意大利动身前往法国投奔生活在巴黎的哥哥。
马克龙告诉贾沙玛，“鉴于你的见义勇为，显然，我们今天要将你所有的文件合法化。”
总统还表示，他将为贾沙玛提供法国公民的身份以及一份消防员的工作。
贾沙玛获得特殊待遇时，法国正准备从巴黎临时难民营中驱逐约2400名移民。强制关闭难民营引发市长与国家政客的激烈辩论。
2015年，另一位马里移民巴帝力（Lassana Bathily）获得法国公民身份。当时，他工作的一家犹太食品店遭受恐怖袭击时，他将人藏到冷冻库，拯救了很多人。
