Ayman Ragab<\/strong><\/p>\n

Liberian President Joseph Boakai announced on Tuesday that he had ordered an investigation after a large quantity of cocaine was seized at the capital Monrovia's airport, and said he was "determined to destroy drug trafficking networks" in the country.<\/p>\n

President Boakai addressed the nation Tuesday evening following the seizure of 237.6 kilograms of cocaine worth more than $19 million in mid-June, one of the largest seizures in the country's history, he said.<\/p>\n

Drug networks in Mali<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Senegal, another West African country, customs officials announced on Tuesday a record seizure on Monday of 970.6 kilograms of cocaine in the center of the country.<\/p>\n

The drugs were hidden in a truck carrying fruit from a \u201cneighboring\u201d country that was not identified in the statement.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boakai said: \u201cLiberia will not be a safe haven, transit point, warehouse, financial center, or base of operations for criminal networks involved in drug trafficking.\u201d.<\/p>\n

He continued, saying: \u201cWe are determined to uncover and destroy the networks that finance, coordinate, facilitate, and profit from this criminal activity\u201d of drug trafficking.<\/p>\n

No one is exempt.<\/h4>\n

He stressed that the investigation, coordinated by the National Drug Enforcement Agency, will not exclude any person or institution involved, until \u201canyone fully responsible\u201d in Liberia or abroad is brought to justice.<\/p>\n

In neighboring Sierra Leone, the opposition leader in Sierra Leone\u2019s parliament, Abdullahi Kargbo, expressed his \u201cdeep concern\u201d in early May about several cases that \u201clink\u201d the country to \u201cinternational drug trafficking and organized criminal networks,\u201d in an open letter to the president.<\/p>\n

His open letter came after a record seizure on May 7 by Spanish police of 30 tons of cocaine worth 812 million euros, as well as \u201cfirearms\u201d, on board a boat that left Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n

The presence of Joss Ledgekers, one of Europe\u2019s most wanted drug traffickers, in Sierra Leone for more than a year has raised many questions about his ties to the government.<\/p>\n

The Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC), a Swiss non-governmental organization, indicates that West Africa is \u201ca region that serves as a link for international cocaine trafficking between producing countries in Latin America and consuming countries in Europe.\u201d.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
