Located in the Horn of Africa, Djibouti is a small but important player in the global fight against illegal drugs. The country has long been a transshipment point for illegal drugs, including heroin and hashish, from neighboring countries. In a bold move to combat this problem, Djibouti launched its first-ever marijuana incinerator, and it burns a significant amount of weed.
A new era in drug eradication
The incinerator, which was officially opened in April, is a state-of-the-art facility designed to destroy large quantities of illegal drugs. The facility uses a high-temperature combustion process to incinerate drugs, rendering them useless and preventing them from entering the illegal drug trade.
Destroy tons of grass
Since its opening, the incinerator has worked around the clock to destroy large quantities of marijuana. In its first month of operation, the facility burned more than 10 tons of illegal drugs, including more than 8 tons of marijuana. The facility has the capacity to burn up to 20 tonnes of medicine per day, making it one of the largest of its type in the world.
A step towards a safer Djibouti
The launch of the marijuana incinerator is an important step towards transforming Djibouti into a safer and more secure country. The country’s President, Ismail Omar Guelleh, hailed the facility as a major victory in the fight against drug trafficking and abuse.
A regional success
The incinerator is not only a success for Djibouti, but also for the region. The facility has been recognized as a model for other countries in the region, and several neighboring countries have expressed interest in replicating the program.
A better future for Djibouti
The launch of the marijuana incinerator marks a new era in Djibouti’s fight against drug trafficking and abuse. The facility will continue to play a vital role in keeping the nation’s streets safe and reducing the demand for illegal drugs. As the country continues to work towards a safer future, the incinerator will remain a key part of its strategy.
