Drug trade evolution in the region
The article addresses Morocco's transformation into a major hub for the production and trade of drugs. Increasingly, secret laboratories are being used to extract and manufacture potent chemical drugs, including cocaine and hallucinogens such as "Bofa" and "Karkoubi." International investigations have shown that Morocco has been developing its capacity to process and produce cocaine domestically for several years, with laboratories in cities like Oujda since 2016. Criminal networks also rely on importing raw materials from abroad and converting legitimate pharmaceuticals into narcotics, thereby expanding the production of hallucinogens and complicating smuggling networks. These activities threaten the stability of neighboring countries, generating profits reaching hundreds of millions of euros annually. They also expand the criminal infrastructure, which evades security measures and uses the proceeds to fund operations—indicating complicity and complacency on the part of Moroccan authorities.
