The violence is a consequence of international drug policy, writes the taz:
“In all industrialised countries, people are snorting all the coke they can get up their noses, across all social classes and political divides. Including those who normally only buy fair-trade organic food. … There isn’t half a gram of cocaine that isn’t tainted with blood. But as long as it is politically convenient for the governments of the North to maintain the illusory but seemingly so caring goal of a drug-free world, nothing will change. They could switch to realpolitik and regulate the market from plant to end consumer. But instead: the North gets the lifestyle, the South gets the dead.”
