THE United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in its global synthetic drugs assessment has come up with disturbing statistics on Pakistan. According to the report, the methamphetamine seizure in Pakistan increased by 21 times; from 33kg in 2016 to 2.9 tonnes in 2018. Methamphetamine, also known as ‘ice’, is a lethal and highly addictive stimulant which causes damage to health slowly. Such drugs and the number of people addicted to them have increased manifold in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in general, and tribal areas, in particular.
The anti-narcotic authorities should find out the source of this drug. According to some reports, ice is smuggled into Pakistan from Afghanistan via Chaman in Balochistan, and Aangor Ada border at South Waziristan. How do drugs get smuggled into Pakistan despite the presence of security agencies?

The Asylum Cooperative Agreement, signed in September 2019 with the approval of Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, is one of three such pacts that the US has made in an effort to discourage regional migration. The other agreements are with Honduras and Guatemala, although only the agreement with Guatemala has gone into effect so far, leading to the deportations of nearly 1,000 Hondurans and Salvadorans.
