Cocaine Republic?

Why are some of the world’s biggest cocaine trafficking operations repeatedly connected to Sierra Leone? That is now the question damaging the nation internationally. And the silence surrounding it is becoming more dangerous than the allegations themselves.

Transnational drug cartels do not gamble billions of dollars on weak logistics. They study states carefully, they identify vulnerable ports, compromised systems, weak maritime surveillance, porous intelligence networks, politically connected fixers, corrupt facilitators, and countries where accountability is weak enough for operations to move quietly. That is how narco networks operate globally.
