Descripcion: The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime describes in this report how Western Africa is becoming a major transit hub for cocaine and other drugs destined to Europe. It analyzes what impact this drug trade is having on the security of the states in the region and also it focuses on Colombian drug traffickers, who are still very important in supplying markets around the world. “It appears that most shipments that transit West Africa remain in the control of Colombian groups until they reach Europe”, the report states.
