Defyhatenow in South Sudan was founded to minimize conflict online after the fighting broke out in December 2013, says Initiator.
 
Stephen Kovats says they introduced Defyhatenow to help strength small group of young users of social media to reduce clashes online.
 
People who want to cause conflict are very sharp on social media and have many resources, he observes.
 
Sitona Abdallah Osman, former Ambassador of South Sudan to Germany, notes that some people use the social media as a war and a political tool to destroy the government through hate speech.
 
Social media can also be properly used for motivating others to work for national development, she stresses.
 
The speakers talked on Monday at the end of year event for Defyhatenow initiative which campaigns against online hate speech.
