Question 1384 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr. Saïd Ahamada questions the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs on France's position regarding the dramatic situation experienced by the Rohingya in Burma. Since August 25, 2017, it is estimated that more than 370,000 of them have been forced to take refuge in Bangladesh to flee an operation by the Burmese army. On September 11, 2017, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mr. Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, spoke of “a classic example of ethnic cleansing.” Faced with this, Daesh seems to show its support for this minority and tries to prosper by exploiting this tragedy. In the 7th constituency of Bouches-du-Rhône, a real surge of solidarity is being created with regard to the situation this population is going through, while a lot of information, true and false, is circulating. It therefore seems urgent not to allow a distorted perception of the situation and position of France and its allies on this issue. Also, he would be grateful if he would indicate to him the observation he makes concerning the situation of the Rohingyas as well as France's position on this subject.
