The residential building where Malian 'spiderman' Mamoudou Gassama climbed to save a small boy dangling from a balcony in the French capital, Paris, has become a tourist site, news agency AFP reports. A local resident identified as Chantal said "since Saturday, it hasn't stopped.... every day people have been coming to look at it themselves."

Crowds are seen gathered at the site, taking photos of themselves, and expressing wonder at Mr Gassama's antics.

 

The 22-year-old migrant's life has changed dramatically since the video of his rescue was shared online.

 

In another development, after so many hours of the President of Mali trying to convince Gassama to come back home and join the military, the young Malian who is now a French Citizen rejected the offer from his home president to be made a General in the Malian Army, as he started his first day at work with the fire department in Paris.
