In light of regional tensions and the acceleration of events globally, societies live in a state of anticipation and anxiety as a result of a stream of news, clips and messages that lack accuracy and credibility.
Social media has become an open scene to mix the facts with opinions, which sometimes contributes to spreading rumors and amplifying concerns.
Hence, our role as a conscious and responsible society in the use of these means is wisely, and the distinction between the accurate and the sectarian information, and the wait before the republishing of any content, especially in times of crisis.
In this context, we confirm that the concerned authorities in the Kingdom of Bahrain have high readiness and deliberate plans to face crises, thanks to their qualified security and administrative cadres, and others, and these parties have proven their efficiency in consolidating stability in the Kingdom through the great and thankful efforts in spreading reassurance in society, educating citizens, and creating effective communication channels that guarantee the direct response and exchange of information with Citizens.
The national media, with its various sources, also plays a pivotal role in confronting rumors and transferring the correct information, which makes it a reliable source that enhances societal awareness, and is devoted to trust between the state and the citizen, which is worthy of praise and appreciation for its positive role in directing public opinion and enhancing stability, but responsibility does not fall on the official authorities alone, but rather starts from the behavior of individuals, as building a healthy information environment. Thinking, checking the source, and avoiding drifting behind everything that is rumored.
Every word is said, and every message is sent, and every information is circulated, it is a responsibility and honesty that falls upon us as citizens, especially in times of tension and crises, whatever. Therefore, awareness and distinction between truth and misleading is no longer an option, but rather is one of the priorities of societal security and national stability.
In conclusion, we believe in the awareness of Bahraini society, and we value this awareness, and call it to enhance solidarity and correct some negative behaviors. In the time of crisis, it is not enough to take measures only, but we also need a coherent collective awareness that contributes to building a more powerful and stable country.
