A report released by the UN
announced an Afghan monopoly
on illegal opium production.
Afghanistan produces 92 percent
of the world’s opium, caters to 15
million addicts, and kills 100,000

the UN, corruption, lawlessness,
and uncontrolled borders result
in only two percent of Afghan opiates
being seized locally.
