The Head of Operations of Ghana's Narcotics Control Board, Dickson Christian Akatahas stated that drug barons are targeting Ghana and other West African countries to establish clandestine laboratories to process precursor chemicals for narcotics.
As previously reported, a Ghanese chemist has announced a new technique to produce the cocaine precursor, potassium permanganate, domestically in Ghana.
Heretofore, West Africa has been a transit point for drug smuggling into Europe; so this suggest it is moving up the food chain.
Coca can be grown in West Africa, so do not be surprised if - as the drug war intensifies in Latin America - it actually begins to be grown there.

ReplyDeleteIt's kind of like how clumsily applied medicine can make many diseases deadlier! The irony of government stupidity would be more humorous if so many people weren't going to die slowly and horribly.
Coca in West Africa! The New World spreads its bounty to the Old! When will we see Ibogaine in South America?
On the bright side, drug barons in hollowed-out states seem to be the best-adapted political figures in the modern world - at least until the USA collapses, and the Drug War collapses, and drug crops are worth no more than wheat and flax. So for some time, the drug barons will have a vested interest in keeping Africa alive. After the Drug War collapses, I suspect that Africa will be no worse off than before.
