Prime Minister Edi Rama, Interior Minister Fatmir Xhafaj and other officials of the State Police trumpet the extermination of cannabis surfaces in the country as a great success story. But beyond these statements on the ground there is another reality. Plots of cannabis are discovered almost every day, mainly in Gjirokastër, Vlora and Fushë Kruja areas. Many of the police operations are kept secret, in an effort to further reinforce the government's official line that there are no more drug-cultivated acreage. Of course, cultivation is not to the same extent as when Saimir Tahiri was in charge of the Ministry of the Interior, but the situation is still problematic and far from being a success story as claimed by Rama and Xhafaj.
Today in Memaliaj, a record USA Phone Number quantity of cannabis, 1.5 tons, was discovered, as well as an arsenal of weapons was seized (1 sniper, 12 Kalashnikovs, 2 rifles and 1 shotgun). Drugs and weapons were hidden in two abandoned vans. The police have not yet arrested any person, but say that the operation continues. This is not the only amount caught in the Gjirokastër region this summer. On July 16, another large amount was discovered in Skore village of Dropull Municipality. There were 6 plots with more than 2500 cannabis roots. The operation was kept secret. The police still today have not made any details public, although two people were arrested as workers in the plots.
But such a large quantity, of course, cannot be cultivated without a great support from the ranks of the State Police, other law-enforcement agencies or why not even politics. What are the criminal groups that quietly continue their activity in the south of the country, cultivating frightening amounts of cannabis? Why does the 'Force of the Law' operation, so trumpeted by Rama and Xhafaj, not affect these groups? Hard to believe that this large amount of drugs was cultivated by villagers in the area, in an attempt to secure a little income. But the 1.5 tons caught today in Memaliaj and over 2,500 roots discovered in the village of Skore in Dropulli, are not the only quantity.
