Afghanistan Peace Campaign
Some experts believe that to prevent poppy cultivation and drug trafficking in Afghanistan, other countries should also cooperate with the Islamic Emirate.
Khalid Zadran, the Kabul security command’s spokesperson, told TOLOnews: “The Counter-Narcotics Directorate of the Kabul Security Command has conducted 181 operations in various parts of Kabul, in which 225 suspects have been arrested and handed over to the law.”
However, some experts believe that to prevent poppy cultivation and drug trafficking in Afghanistan, other countries should also cooperate with the Islamic Emirate.
Sadiq Shinwari, a military affairs expert, said: “If the international community and neighboring countries want to stop the cultivation, production, and smuggling of drugs, they should work on a special mechanism, that is, to replace (poppy crops) with farmers.”
Zalmay Afghanyar, another military affairs expert, told TOLOnews: “The issue of drugs is an international issue. The current government has prohibited it based on the Sharia law, but the institutions that cooperated with the government in the counter-narcotics have not provided an alternative to narcotic cultivation. They should know the farmer who cultivated narcotics in the past and now they do not know what problems are they facing?”
Earlier, the Department of Counter-Narcotics of the Interior Ministry had given statistics that after the re-establishment of the Islamic Emirate, 1,250 large and small drug processing factories were destroyed in the country.
