This isn’t just a one-off seizure; it reveals how West Africa has become a critical transit zone for cocaine bound for Europe, handling about 30% of the global flow. Weak borders and enforcement have enabled this trafficking network, prompting charges against top Liberian law enforcement officials—including the police chief and airport commander. Authorities also publicly destroyed 230kg of cocaine worth $19 million to send a clear message: Liberia won’t be a drug haven anymore. Meanwhile, rising local drug use adds another layer to this growing crisis across the region. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
