Zafir Posted April 21, 2006 Khat doesn't grow anywhere is Somalia bebol... On the contarery I think this woman finally realized where the money is. Read below. 1980, the World Health Organization declared khat a highly addictive drug, and East African leaders have campaigned against it, saying chronic use leads to high divorce rates, wife beatings and job loss. In Somalia, opponents call the habit a national epidemic and say men who use the drug neglect their families by spending huge amounts of cash and time on it. Khat crops have flourished in neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia, where farmers started uprooting their coffee plants and growing the leafy green plant when the world coffee market crashed in the 1990s and early 2000s. Today, Kenya exports about $250 million of khat annually , beating out tea as one of the county's most lucrative exports, according to the Kenyan government. Dozens of flights leave Nairobi's two major airports every day, transporting burlap sacks filled with khat to Somalia in a trade that is worth about $300,000 a day, according to Kenya's National Agency for the Campaign Against Drug Abuse. And like tobacco and alcohol, khat is a big business run by powerful people. Source Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
