Latin American and Africa

The president of Guinea-Bissau was assassinated. This will be good news for Colombian drug traffickers. The country was already seen as a major transit point for Latin American drugs making their way to Europe. There is nothing like additional instability combined with endemic corruption for providing nice opportunities for profit.

Europe needs to acknowledge the fact that, just as the United States, it has a huge market for cocaine and is therefore is a major cause of the problem.
