Anti-narcotics operations in areas controlled by
#STG are still ongoing, but Charles Lister seems to be off in his own world
STG has once again announced the seizure of a drug shipment, this time totaling 25 million Captagon pills in
#Homs. (As we’ve pointed out before, drug production, trafficking, and smuggling are taking place in Sunni Arab areas under STG control and haven’t stopped since the fall of the Assad regime.)
Lister, however, offers a different take, trying to pin responsibility on
#Suwayda, even though the city is surrounded and doesn’t even have reliable access to basic necessities like flour. Under those conditions, it’s hard to see how it could possibly obtain the raw materials needed to manufacture Captagon. Just reading the headline of his article is enough to see how poorly argued and politicized it is.
