Zanzibar plagued by growing heroin addiction

[Nyakipambo]

Residents say it is relatively easy to smuggle the drug on and off the East African island.

There are an estimated 9,000 heroin addicts on the small East African island of Zanzibar - one of the highest rates of usage in the world.
Zanzibar’s container port is along several key shipping routes that ferry the drug from Asia to big markets in the US and Europe. And residents say it is relatively easy to smuggle heroin on and off the island.


Although the drug is illegal in Zanzibar, it is almost impossible for the authorities to know what goods are coming or going.

Hii si story nzuri sana ila ina ukweli mwingi ndani yake. Na nchi yoyote itakayojaribu kujenga himaya yake kwa biashara ya mihadarati lazima itaanguka anguko la aibu,.

Nasikia hayo madawa yanaingizwa na Majahanzi kutoka Afghanistan. Inasikitisha kuona Vyombo vya Usalama hawachukui hatua yoyote ya kupambana na huu ujinga. Serikali ipo busy na Chadema huku vijana wakiteketea na haya madawa. Na wauzaji wengi wa haya madawa ndio wanaomiliki magari makubwa ( Matrack) ya mizigo na wanayatumia kusafirisha madawa yao nchi za jirani.
