Professor Mostafa Khayati: “Algeria should file a complaint at the United Nations against Morocco”

Professor Mostafa Khaiati, Chairman of the National Commission for the Promotion of Health and the Development of Scientific Research, accused Morocco of sinking Algeria in drug, because it planted more than 57,000 hectares of cannabis.

Khaiati called upon Algeria to file a complaint at the United Nations, because the Moroccan drug is threatening the Algerian security and stability.

He explained in a lecture in Mila, eastern Algerian, that there are 30 Moroccan MPs who are accused of drug trafficking; “European countries imposed a tight control on their border with Morocco, and when they became unable to penetrate it,  it directed all its production of drug toward the Algerian desert, where most of the product passes across the desert and a part of the production is directed to Algeria to hit the stability.

Security and official coordination should be realized to eliminate the phenomenon.”

“All categories should cooperate to eliminate drug among youth, from the parents to the school to the neighborhood. Role of civil society should be activated, because it controlled and reported on the drug consumers and promoters of these toxins like what is done in the Western countries, that have gone away in this area, and the consumer of drugs should not be given the medicine, but should only join the hospital because medicines are also another type of addiction.”

“A national observatory to follow up the drug should be created because it is developing. In the past year there was the discovery of a medicine that is used in the treatment of breast cancer was laid off by the doctors in Algeria because it caused serious complications on patients, and it was entered through Tunisia, but it was directed for use as a drug and this is dangerous, with the revision of the 2004 law which criminalizes consuming drugs. Consumer should be considered a victim, as most people enter prison due to drug consumption and stay there from 3 to 6 months, and when they are freed they become barons of drug after having contact with senior criminals in prison.
