Résumé :
This report was prepared by an independent researcher, Caroline Rose, in the framework of the European Union's Action against Organised Crime and Terrorism (EU-ACT) project, with the support of the European Union Drugs Agency (EUDA), as part of the implementation of the new International Cooperation Framework as well as through the EU4MD II project funded by the European Union. It assesses the production, trafficking and consumption of captagon and methamphetamine along the Southern route and in North Africa and identifies areas for further regional collaboration and support. To this end, the report provides an overview of the illicit captagon and methamphetamine markets in the region from 2020 to 2024.
The report reflects the rise in prominence of synthetic drugs like captagon and methamphetamine in the so-called Southern route - a prominent heroin trafficking route to Europe that extends from the Makran coast of Iran and Pakistan into the Middle East and East Africa - and on North Africa. However, the significant gaps that exist in the available data represent a major barrier to developing a better understanding of the current situation and trends. As a result, the report's findings should be interpreted with caution. [Editor's abstract]
