What would the government do when they themselves are corrupted? It's a catch 22 situation!

Something intrigues me though. Why Mauritians fall for these drugs? Everyone is aware it's bad!

Lack of education, they need to release pictures of before and after to show how you can change after a short time of drug use. This is common in the UK and US and after seeing some of the pictures myself I am very shocked. Why would you want to age your organs and you features by 20 years? There should be more posters and awareness raised.

Yeah I agree its an easy target, I think a lot of it comes by sea as it is easier to bribe the officials at port than the airport.

Unfortunately I do not see Mauritius becoming drug free any time soon, there needs to be a crack down otherwise too many young people will lose their life to it

Makes me think about Pablo Escobar. I 'heard' pharmacists who deal internationally import some of these hard drugs.

Drugs have been a problem in Mauritius for a long time as far as I can remember. It probably started off with small dealers and then developed into gangs and traffickers because nothing was done before when it would have been easier to deal with.

Now it's going to take a lot of effort and dedication to eradicate this from our island.

Mauritius is famous for hard drug dealings because its geographical location in the Indian Ocean makes it an ideal spot for drug traffickers. It is strategically situated between Africa and Europe and has therefore become a drug hub.

Drug is a big problem for many countries but in Mauritius it is worse because corruption is very high. Therefore it is very unlikely that the police will be able to crack down on drugs and to discipline the country.
