What’s Next in Syria: Captagon and Assad’s Booming Drug Empire
The Captagon drug trade is turning Syria into a narco-state. In 2020 alone, authorities outside Syria seized a combined total of at least $3.4 billion worth of Captagon.
In Syria, the drug empire is run by businessmen tied to the Assad regime, close associates of Syrian strongman Bashar Assad, and even family members. A widespread drug epidemic in Syria is not only creating a drug crisis along Jordan’s borders and throughout the region, but it is also fueling instability by empowering the illicit activities of the Assad regime, a close client of Russia, Iran, and China.
So, what does the future hold for Syria? Join us as a distinguished panel of experts tackles the scale of the problem and realistic actions that the United States can take to mitigate the damage.
