West Africa Coast Initiative
text:
The West Africa Coast Initiative is an attempt from the United Nations to combat the fight against drug trafficking and transnational organized crime in West Africa. Initially, Guinea-Bissau,
Liberia,
Sierra Leone
and Côte d’Ivoire, where $1 billion worth of cocaine is trafficked annually, are the first to accept and join the initiative; perhaps Guinea will join later. In some nations in the area, which are amongst the poorest in the world, drug trafficking profits actually outweigh the GDP.
