That's a very good point and seems very possible. There was apparently another Malian hero in France in 2015.
"Gassama's story instantly drew comparisons with that of another Malian migrant who was feted as a hero, and given citizenship, for helping save lives during a January 2015 terror attack.

It really is exactly the story we need - aren't we all now in love with the young man who saved the child? Not just Paris; not just France; the entire world. This is the way we should all be behaving. Gassama is our hero. Given citizenship. Given a job. Make him Pope!

You're right Honey; brilliant story; great video; just what we need as a species (and further support for my Open All Borders crusade).
