“#France to continue its support for #Bangladesh on #Rohingya issue.”

This tweet was made by the Awami League and features a picture of Sheikh Hasina, the current Bangladesh Prime Minister. When contextualizing the tweet, it is important that viewers understand the current refugee issue in Bangladesh. Within recent months, a huge flood of refugees migrated from Burma/Myanmar to Bangladesh in order to escape the genocide that was occurring in their own country. After Bangladesh took in the massive amounts of refugees, they experienced slight issues with drug trafficking, and now an overpopulated Rohingya camp that hosts them. Within the camp, there have been other news posts about how the Bangladesh government temporarily shut off the internet in the camp from 5pm to 5am. This act from the government makes me concerned whether or not France has said anything about this to Bangladesh because of their involvement. The reason why France is important to the post is because of their cooperation with Bangladesh to host refugees. This is important to the relationship between Southeast Asian and European countries, and the Awami League did a great job using the tweet to represent the growing relationship that is being molded between the two regions. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future due to France being much further away from Burma/Myanmar, and how they may feel that they are having less of an impact because of their distance. Whereas Bangladesh is so close, they can have a much larger impact because of the shorter migrating distance between the two countries. If more Twitter users of varying countries continue to make this event more popular by tweeting about it, we should see more countries from around the world become aware of the issue and contribute more resources to the cause.
