| 2021-11-17 |
| [ToloNews] Farmers in the southern provinces of the country said they are happy about their opium products in the fall season of this year. Farmers in Kandahar and Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... say that this year the yield is good considering the drought in the country. Mohammad Wali, a farmer in Kandahar, said that although he is concerned about the drought this year the cultivation of the opium is favorable as there is no other work. "There is no work, all the families are in debt and everyone’s hope is opium," said Mohammad Wali, a farmer. Meanwhile, ...back at the shattered spaceship, Fffflirgoll the Arcturan slithered stealthily toward the control room, where the humans had barricaded themselves... officials of the Islamic Emirate said they are trying to find alternatives for the poppy farmers. Saffron and pine nuts are traditional... cucumbers and tomatoes would probably be overwhelming to those simple souls. "The Islamic Emirate through using government facilities, and in coordination with various international organizations and in cooperation with the international community, is trying to find alternative jobs for those who are cultivating opium," said Enamullah Samangani, deputy front man of the Islamic Emirate.“Sure, you can plant something else. Just as long as we get the same tax as if you’d planted opium, plus an extra 10% for the extra trouble you’re giving us.” "The issue of narcotics is one of the world’s biggest problems, and our neighboring countries, especially Russia, will be greatly affected by Afghanistan’s narcotics and this will affect the relations of the Islamic Emirate with the world," said Noorullah Hazrati, a university lecturer.One of the major challenges that the previous government was facing was the massive cultivation of poppies and the production of opium in the country. Thanks to the independent actions of the CIA, Pakistan's ISI, and various Afghan politicians unwilling to give up a good thing. Based on reports of international organizations, 90% of the world's narcotics is produced in Afghanistan. Although millions of dollars were spent on the eradication of opium it is still being cultivated in the country.Related: Opium: 2021-10-24 Talib govt denials: no Al Qaeda, no opium, no Shiites evicted Opium: 2021-10-13 India to ban cargo from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran Opium: 2021-10-08 Now in Power, Taliban Set Sights on Afghan Drug Underworld |
