When a 72-year-old man fell unconscious into the River Nervion in the northern Spanish city of Bilbao, Senegalese migrant Mouhammad Fada Diouf did not hesitate. Diouf jumped into the river and for 15 minutes kept the man afloat. The 27-year-old came to Spain four years ago after a 20-month journey. After the video of the rescue went viral, a request was opened in Change.org to reward his courageous act with legal papers to stay in Spain.
