Afgahnistan has 2 million addicts:13 years since the United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001. The country’s opium production has doubled, now accounting for about 90 percent of the world’s supply.The reason that opium has flourished in Afghanistan is because the USA have brought in, supported,& tolerated figures who are involved in very grave criminality, in human rights abuses and in torture. They have done this because it’s been deemed militarily expedient.
