They never disappear they simply recruit pose into networks not structures they become nodes in a Wider Network and even the commom nodes in these networks you can take down a commom mode but it doesnt dismantle the workings of the network its. A new era for criminal organizations began at the start of the ninetys in a system where everything was accelerating transportation communication cash flow globalization. The triumph of free trade hoped to raise borders. I believe we have made a decision that will permit us to create an economic order in the world that will promote more growth more equality better preservation of the environment and a greater possibility of world peace.

Live your lives your busted my your boat or camper caylees internet kemah than a platter better lies to sonny yes a producer much of let. In mr nichols who is you know your name she then went to. Mexico got caught up in a never ending spiral of violence meanwhile colombian traffickers stepped back to focus on production covering entire swards a valid and with coca crops. By the end of the ninetys drug production had become concentrated in lois areas where is impossible to unseat. Colombia was the worlds leading cocaine producer and another country emerged as a permanent player in the story of Drug Trafficking afghanistan the worlds top opium producer. Today 80 percent of the worlds heroin is produced in afghanistan the completely illicit drug represents one 3rd of the countrys revenue. From the dusty streets of its capital kabul to the highest levels of state all of afghanistan has become addicted to heroin. An addiction that was born in the eightys in the midst of the cold war. The soviet army occupied the countrys big cities and in the countryside the russians strove to repress afghan resistance. So in the mid 1980 s. They adopted socalled scorched earth policy they decided to destroy the countryside so people could not live there and in order to do so they would burn down orchard this troy what the system poison of alice but not everyone moved instead people started called the rethink opium poppy. For 10 years opium poppy funded the tribal leaders resistance to the soviet occupation what was once a marginal crop became the main source of revenue for peasants and warlords. When the russians left afghanistan tribal leaders clashed in a struggle to take power. Several 1000 afghans died and there was. Throughout the ravaged land one movement channeled the anger of a people prostrated by years of conflict. The taliban gained ground. They had political objectives the didnt like drugs when they started they really were very upset with all those corrupted watch in afghanistan and they really didnt like she wanted to bring law and order because of the kind of law and order we lived with it was their perception show part of that was to stop opium opium us advice is how wrong is not. Everywhere they went the taliban imposed less strict laws closing movie theaters out during music hiding women from view but opium was the livelihood of tens of thousands of families if they banned it the taliban rest losing support in the countryside. To build Political Capital the taliban started saying well the koran says that opium poppy is her and its still how to use it but it would say as long as you produce opium poppy for dick a fuse for the infidels as long as it goes to russia or goes to the us thats perfectly fine with us. O. P. M. Allowed the taliban to finance their advance on kabul the Afghan Capital fell in 1906. Afghanistan was immediately ostracized by the International Community and cut off from the world. Afghanistan was around bridge loan and there was no foreign aid. And so opium was for the knife to cut through the gordian knot of this social puzzle of how to restore economy its an annual crop you put the seed in the ground and a few months later youve got a commodity thats illicit that magically crosses all boundaries you know without any impediment whatsoever. The taliban set up labs on their land and turned afghanistan into the worlds leading heroin producer. Drug money made them both thinking they could Flout International Law in 1908 they granted a safe haven to members of al qaeda. But heroin could not ensure the survival of an entire country.
