The Maldivian government launched its ever first drug control masterplan on Thursday, aiming to tackle all dimensions of the narcotics problem, in coordination with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
The situation of drug addiction and lack of adequate treatment for addicts is what it is in Maldives because the Maldivian Government has failed to take appropriate action to deal with these issues. The UNODC cannot be ignorant of this problem and its root causes if they wish to help Maldives. Every one in Maldives knows what the problems are and so we don't need four years for another window dressing by the UNODC and the Maldivian Government.
All the facets of this problem begin with the influx of these drugs into Maldives and the greed of those who sell drugs to our youth. . The UNODC should demand the Maldivian Government to stop this influx by vigorous checking at all entry points and enforce the death penalty on traffickers who bring in and sell drugs that kill our youth.
Medical treatment should be provided to members of our community who need help to get over the drug addiction without stigmatizing them.
