Tanzanian Declares War Against Drug Traffickers

Tanzanian President John Magufuli on Sunday ordered the east African nation's defence and security forces to step up war on drugs with full force.


President Magufuli who doubles as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces made the order shortly after he had sworn in the newly appointed Commissioner General of the Drug Control and Enforcement Authority, Rogers William Siyanga.

The President appealed to all government leaders to join forces with the defence and security forces in the fight against drug trafficking.

"We should fight drug trafficking with full force without fear or favour," President Magufuli said in a statement issued by the Directorate of Presidential Communication at State House in the commercial capital Dar es Salaam.

He praised leaders across the country who have started fighting drug trafficking by naming suspected dealers in the illicit business.
