AMAZING VIDEO – NO PRIVATE ROOMS –

Kabul, Feb. 2, 2023 – The anti-narcotics deputy ministry, a department of the internal affairs ministry, says that currently there are around 3.5 million drug addicts in Afghanistan.

In an attempt to respond to the situation, the fundamentalists have forcibly institutionalized over 6,000 Afghans as part of a long-term campaign.

“So far we have collected and admitted around 6,350 addicts in 32 provinces of the country in 18 rounds campaigns for treatment,” Nasir Menqad, a spokesperson of the anti-narcotics department, told EFE.The campaign, whose effectiveness raises doubts in a country that produces the majority of the world’s opium despite an official ban, has resulted in massive pressure on the rehabilitation centers that remain open.

The main center in Kabul is equipped with 1,000 beds, but the number of inmates has now surged to four times the capacity, as the major part of the addicts forced to seek treatment by the Taliban were identified in the capital.
