Rohingya youth, media workers and community members gathered at Café Highway Restaurant on Saturday, October 10, to discuss hate speech, misinformation and ways to strengthen understanding among communities in Arakan State.
According to information shared with Rohingya Khobor, the discussion focused on tensions affecting people from Buthidaung, Maungdaw and Rathedaung, and the role of young people in preventing further divisions.
Participants expressed concern that misleading social media posts, insulting language and unverified claims could increase mistrust among communities.
They called on journalists, video creators and social media users to verify information before sharing it and to avoid blaming entire communities for the actions of individuals.
The gathering also discussed the importance of respectful communication, cooperation among young people and peaceful ways to address disagreements.
Participants encouraged young Rohingya to challenge discriminatory messages and promote mutual respect, regardless of regional background.
Further details about the organisers, the number of participants and any specific decisions taken during the meeting were not available in the initial report.
