On the UN’s International Day Against Drug Abuse, Myanmar incinerated over 50 tonnes of narcotics, valued at $600 million. This year’s destruction effort is double that of last year’s, emphasizing the country’s ongoing struggle as a key drug producer amidst conflict and inadequate governance. Authorities face substantial challenges from drug networks in the Golden Triangle, with recent seizures illustrating the vast scale of these illicit operations.
