Libya Drug Crisis Deepens as Ecstasy Trade Expands | WION Podcast

Libya’s worsening drug crisis is drawing attention after authorities seized one hundred thousand ecstasy pills, including tablets moulded into the shape of Muammar Gaddafi. The seizure highlights how years of political instability have helped turn Libya into a transit hub for synthetic drugs and cocaine moving across several regions. Rival power centres, economic hardship and corruption have made enforcement increasingly difficult. A UN report says the country now provides a cheaper and easier route for storing, moving and distributing narcotics. We examine the latest seizure, Libya’s fractured political system and why tackling the expanding trade remains such a difficult challenge.
