APC’s Abdul Kargbo Warns of Possible EU Action Against Sierra Leone Over Drug Concerns

The Parliamentary Leader of the main opposition All People’s Congress (APC), Hon. Abdul Kargbo, has expressed concern over recent discussions within the European Parliament regarding possible sanctions and the suspension of development assistance to Sierra Leone amid allegations linking the country to international drug trafficking networks.

According to reports referenced by the APC Parliamentary Leader, some members of the European Parliament have argued that Sierra Leone is increasingly being viewed as a key transit point for cocaine destined for Europe and as a refuge for European Union citizens seeking to evade prosecution in their home countries.
