Only later were they displaced by traffickers from Colombia - who had originally served as couriers for the Chileans. The only way to make sure traffickers can't operate with impunity is to make sure the governments of the world are united in their efforts to bring them down The only thing constant about drug trafficking is change. There is nothing static about this industry. It's changing all the time. So it does none of us any good to focus all of our efforts on the few countries that grow the coca plant or that serve as the headquarters of trafficking groups.
Drug traffickers are the ultimate multinational corporations.
They will use any part of the world that serves their needs. So the only way to make sure traffickers can't operate with impunity is to make sure the governments of the world are united in their efforts to bring them down. We are all in this together. We all have the same problems, each of us in different degrees. And none of us can afford to rest easy until this global conspiracy that poisons our peoples and destroys our communities is a thing of the past.
