Europe's Balkan Cartels Turn West Africa Into Cocaine Hub: Report| Firstpost Africa | N18G
A new report reveals how West Africa has become a major hub for Europe’s cocaine trade, driven by Western Balkan criminal groups. Since 2019, gangs from Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, and Albania have shifted operations from South America to West Africa, taking advantage of underfunded ports, weak law enforcement, and poor infrastructure. Countries including Senegal, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Cape Verde now serve as transit points where cocaine is stored, repackaged, and shipped to Europe. Brokers, rather than traditional kingpins, coordinate these operations, linking suppliers, intermediaries, and buyers. Authorities warn the growing presence of these networks could fuel regional violence and instability if unchecked.
