He is 24 years old. From a village in northwestern Mali, he arrived in France in 2006 to join his father. He then enrolled in a vocational school where he earned a CAP mosaicist Tiler.
Lassana Bathily became a hero in France, a reputation that exceeds a little ... This January 9, it is in the Vincennes kosher grocery store where he worked for 4 MSNA when Amedy Coulibaly made it burst. He then instinctively hide 6 customers with a baby in a cold room at before managing to escape, giving valuable information officers.
"It can be a Christian, it can a athéem or it can be a Muslim, if I see a poor person who kills like that, it hurts, it hurts. I have not done just for the Jews. It's just inhumane. We can not let an innocent human killed like that, "he recounted.
Arrived in France Lassana followed the long obstacle course of undocumented migrants. In 2009, he escapes deportation, and it was not until two years later he landed a residency permit that allows him to find a job. Practicing Muslim, Lassana dream of French nationality. His request he had made in July.
"This is a country that I like because even if you have nothing, even if you do not have papers, if you do not have money, they treat you. Frankly, it's a beautiful country anyway, I like it, I like France. "
Without this act of bravery, Lassana might be waited years before obtaining French nationality. The number of naturalizations has been declining in recent years, since the establishment under Nicolas Sarkozy of a more restrictive migration policy.
For sesame now managed by the prefecture, it must meet criteria more stringent, age, residence, professional integration, morality. And all this often is not enough.
