Afghan Drug Trade; Cartels, Trafficking Route, and Government Complicity
[KhaamaPress] Several related economic activities are involved in Afghanistan drug trafficking. Cartels maintain a symbiotic relationship with the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban...by giving farmers advances to plant ephedra and opium while providing the financial assistance necessary to keep the jihadist proto-state alive. These cartels use Pak sources to facilitate the acquisition of chemicals required to produce drugs. In addition, diverse nationalities are used as hostages until their cartels can afford to pay for the delivery of the drugs, and terrorist groups offer security services in exchange for payment, said Hamid Pakteen, reported by Afghan Diaspora Network.
