Calls to Intensify Comprehensive Efforts to Combat the Drug Scourge and Protect Society

Security experts and specialists have emphasized that combating drugs requires a comprehensive national strategy that goes beyond security measures to include awareness, educational, and health aspects. Despite the successes achieved by security forces in dismantling trafficking networks, the spread of this scourge poses a direct threat to family stability and the national economy. Stakeholders called for stricter penalties and the drying up of funding sources, in parallel with enhancing rehabilitation and psychological support programs for recovering addicts, stressing that protecting the future of generations is a shared responsibility that requires combined efforts from state institutions and civil society.
