In light of the tensions recently witnessed in the city of Al-Hasakah, along with manifestations of incitement and social tensions, Ahimsa for Nonviolence and Peacebuilding Organization emphasizes the importance of promoting responsible discourse and peaceful practices, while avoiding anything that could fuel disagreements or widen the scope of tensions.
We stress the importance of verifying information before sharing it and avoiding preconceived judgments, hate speech, and generalizations, given the role words can play in escalating disagreements or helping to ease them.
We also affirm that choosing nonviolence does not mean remaining silent in the face of wrongdoing.
Rather, it means expressing our positions and standing against injustice with awareness and responsibility, while adopting peaceful means to address disagreements in ways that preserve people’s dignity and safety.
Ahimsa calls for prioritizing dialogue and understanding, avoiding anything that could further escalate tensions, and contributing to the promotion of social peace and cohesion.
Let us be part of the efforts to ease tensions, not a factor in escalating them.
