Mozambik. Regional Drug Routes Shift as Domestic Impact Grows, Authorities Say
Maputo (MOZTIMES) - Mozambique is being pulled deeper into evolving regional drug trafficking routes, as new data reveals that the country is no longer just a transit corridor but an increasingly affected domestic market, with rising consumption and organized networks placing mounting pressure on public health, security and social stability.
The latest government report, presented to the media on Wednesday in Maputo, shows a sharp escalation in both trafficking activity and its internal consequences, underscoring a dangerous shift in the country’s role within global drug flows. Long considered a transit point for narcotics moving between continents, Mozambique is now absorbing part of that flow, with visible and growing impact across communities.
