"The administration, which is responsible to fight narcotics, is involved in corruption and is a shareholder with the people who distribute the narcotics in Kabul and also in Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander.

"The lack of security causes youth to be addicted, and the poverty is another reason for addiction," said Mohammad Asim, a civil society activist. This comes as citizens' concerns are growing about the selling of narcotics in the bazaars of the country, especially in Kabul city, without any limitation. "The government itself distributes materials; the selling and buying of narcotics are available here very much in every square of the park," said Akhtar Mohammad, Kabul resident. "There are some people who distribute the narcotics and the government does not care about it, and the government should identify the narcotics dealers," said Abdul Khaliq, another resident of Kabul. In the NCJC annual report from the past 12 months, Kabul with 327 cases was first in narcotic crimes, and Nangarhar--with 155 cases--was second. Posted by: trailing wife 2020-01-06 |
