Abdul Sami Popalzai, head of the counter-narcotics department of the Ministry of Interior on January 2 said that the Militant groups such as Taliban, al Qaeda and Daesh "are the main backers of drug trafficking" in Afghanistan, reports Tolo News. The MoI said the Provinces such as Helmand, Nimroz, Farah and Badakhshan where the Taliban has more influence, poppy cultivation and drug processing "have been on the rise" compared to other places. “Three main groups including Al Qaeda, Daesh and the Taliban are the main networks in Afghanistan that are supporting (drug) trafficking in the country,” said Abdul Sami Popalzai, head of the counter-narcotics department of Ministry of Interior Affairs. However, Taliban rejected their involvement in the illegal drug trade, saying they are not in a position to prevent drug smuggling in areas under their influence. “We basically control rural areas where there is agriculture. The people cultivate everything there... We cannot prevent them because we do not have an alternative for them. Therefore, we cannot go against them because we are in a war situation,” said a Taliban spokesman.
