West Africa Becomes Huge Cocaine-Trading Hub

West Africa has become a major hub for cocaine trafficking, with an estimated street value of $317m worth of cocaine seized in a single raid in Liberia. The cocaine was found in a bungalow in Duazon, a town between Monrovia and its airport. The raid was carried out by Liberian police on July 21, and the cocaine was found stacked up to the ceiling in the bungalow. The seizure is a significant blow to the cocaine trafficking trade in West Africa, and it highlights the need for increased cooperation between law enforcement agencies in the region.
