Bolivia Sees Enormous Drop In Cocaine Trafficking After Kicking Out DEA [1]
The US Federal Government has long been accused of doing far more to assist the global drug trade than fight against it. They were caught assisting the Sinaloa drug cartel [2], they helped save Afghanistan's opium production [3], and the DEA may be little more than a spy agency in disguise [4]. Well now there's even more hard evidence from Bolivia:
Drug dealing now represents less than 1% of the Andean country's GDP, in a sustained reduction ever since the expulsion of the United States DEA agency.
According to data from the United Nations, Bolivia achieved a reduction in the amount of coca fields — the plant which is used as a raw material for the elaboration of cocaine — approximately in an 11% since the year 2014, and in over a 30% since 2010, which amounts to four consecutive years of decline, from over 30 thousand to some 20 thousand hectares.
