Pope said: “I therefore urge you to work according to truth and justice, so that communication is truly an instrument for building, not for destroying; for meeting, not for clashing; for dialoguing, not for monologizing; for orienting, not for disorienting; for understanding, not for misunderstanding; for walking in peace, not for sowing hatred; for giving a voice to those who have no voice, not for being a megaphone to those who shout louder,”
He added: “Who is talking about the Rohingya today? Who is talking about the Yazidi today? They have been forgotten and they continue to suffer,”
