West africa is battling an opioid abuse trust medicine such as tramadol legally prescribed by doctors for pain relief but taken a lot for me to text by millions and such from 6 already strong officers and the. People in power has been to nigeria to investigate more of the drug smuggling trade and abuse widespread corruption that follows islamist trafficking and the appalling Health Consequences for those in its grip. Ringback theyre going to stay in the midst of the worst drug addiction and damage and its barely a week goes by without Spring International reports like these documents in americas Opioid Crisis. The u. S. Is not the only country facing such a predicament really. Lagos nigeria is africas largest city in the country with the biggest population on the continent over 200000000 people. The city is overcrowded polluted and poverty stricken. And adding to its woes its suffering its wide scale and growing opioid addiction epidemic. I was abusing the list if you think this if used in the. Tramadol a lifesaving opioid painkiller is also being abused on a massive scale by all sectors of society a little too cool for. This regulates of the other opioid painkillers like. A drug which has been implicated in more than 400000 deaths in the u. S. Since 2000 tramadol is less dangerous than oxycodone its no less addictive according to a new study by the mayo clinic a prestigious us Medical Center the key findings our study which was looking at the effect of tramadol on long term dependence in patients from acute sort of pain was the patients who received tramadol actually to our surprise i did not have lower rates of long term opioid use but actually had slightly higher rates of going on to long term opioid use tramadol is currently a schedule for opioids versus other opioids like oxy caught on or schedule 2 meaning that the government considers those at higher risk of abuse and long term dependence we found is in fact really terminal is not actually any lower Interest Rate of abuse or long term dependence the epidemic isnt just confined to lagos its infected the into. Country. The United Nations drugs and crime. Released the results of nigerias illicit drug use. What we have found is really of concern of grave concern when were talking about the nonmedical use of tramadol roughly almost 5000000 users over the past 12 months and the tendency appears to be rising poverty unemployment desperation of people and their living situations is one of the drivers a lot of people seem to be using it associated with hard manual labor with sex work for a sex worker. Eases her ability to submit to a clients more extreme demands she calls the drug by the street name. You. Know well. I dont like it when you. Do. Something youre supposed to. Help. 50. Just. Any. Other abuses legal and highly dangerous version of the drug legally produced with illegal dog 50 or 100 milligrams tap that is being used widely for pain therapy it is really for a large part of the population the only pain medication vailable when were talking about abuse great tramadol were talking about. Significantly over a. 100 milligram what we have seen in seizures up to 225 milligrams and what we have heard in the. People mentioned even up 2402500 taps. From a stable middle class family and works as a chef. Down. The ground. Each pull cost 300. 00. Double the strength of legally available. To much of. My friends. Thats abuse of. The. Drugs so where does this abuse come from that is being produced both legally as well as. That is produced specifically for the nonmedical use is being produced in india either officially or in class this time torys it is reaching nigeria primarily by sea its entering through the 2 major ports of lagos as well as through part harcourt this begs the question once tramadol arrives the Nigerian Ports how does it get so widely distributed across the country. To find out more we interviewed a lagos drug dealer he agreed to be films long as we didnt show his face. His business consists of a motorbike and a suitcase full of with legal drugs. The tramadol he keeps out of sight im not counting terminal in sandy hook and just having to time i dont know but sometimes a pocket determined. Most of his clients are young men. When he moved because. Now i just guys will be pushing. He also sells to women just bang time on the phone and then. When the waking staff were told we were to do cool foods to meet him selling time on the left sometimes thats wrong turn to pills a week a significant amount for a street below where we wanted to know does he get them from these people became his and us i mean come on talks to us in secret in did not knowing even though you go to town on those 3 huntingdon unclear at this point he became wary and wouldnt tell us anything more about a supply as we put this question to you in the sea we need to be very honest we know relatively little about the criminal networks being involved how well theyre organized how large they are. Theres about 7 or 8 different nationalities in identify. The other issue that suggests a certain level of sophistication is to mere size of the individual seizures some of these seizures allegedly are reaching several dozens of tunnels which really suggests like a relatively sophisticated process. To find out more about such seizures we arranged a visit to a pop nigerias largest and busiest ports. In 2018 customs and other authorities seized 41 containers of illegal tramadol. Convoy of customs and Drug Law Enforcement officials thats what they came to show us today on the. Program for a very good if. This. Is from. 2800. 00 seizures were a coup for the authorities the largest single seizure involved 33. 00 containers. They claimed 198000000000. 550000000. 00 u. S. Dollars. With such massive sums of money involved we want to know how many perpetrators had been brought to book. People who have imported. The. Kundu speak for this time. The. Investigation is going on on once is concluded prosecuted. But in the past there have been other. Coming here what is wonderful fought for down. Here. Ok the National Drug agency or india later told us that in the last 2. Years only 5 people have been charged in relation to the apapa port seizures the prosecution is still in process and to date no ones been convicted. We asked the commander about allegations of corruption at the port. Is not an issue because. I have walked in india for like 2 years i dont think this issue. But the events which unfolded soon after seem to indicate otherwise we phoned the customs official handing off a box of tramadol to a port worker. Then we captured boxes of the drug being thrown over the. Side. Finally as we were leaving the paperwork was the rest of the knowledge would be for stealing tramadol we try to film that to. Tell me that the. Customs did take it seriously filming that is we were detained and pressured to delete our footage of the arrest. In the end. An official later confirmed that the arista poor work ahead stalin the tramadol. But the ports of lagos are just the start of the problem next we travel to my degree in the north east of nigeria the city was once the headquarters of. The Islamic State franchise terrorizing this part of the country since 2009. The group which has been fighting a jury and military forces attacking schools and declaring an Islamic State in territory it controls since then through attacks and suicide bombings that killed an estimated 27000 people over 2000000 civilians have been displaced. Weve heard disturbing reports the tramadol might be playing a role in the insurgency. To understand how the conflict is affecting civilians here we interview a psychiatry my degrees federal neuropsychiatric hospital. I many patients although he shows us around a rehab. Isnt it its almost empty but that isnt for lack of those needing treatment. Sent. 1 in the source of livelihood of. Treatment also since the insurrection began hes seen previously unthinkably high dosages of tramadol come on to the market we have. 625. Individuals to 10. 20 shocking indeed thats over 60 times the maximum legal dosage. One of those who cant afford treatment is above my. Comment when i find it that i won a number of items of which were that in some cases she has a white aiki. That was 4 years ago. Doesnt it and its going to have over a 100 more tons of the miners with. Their prejudice you know. Thats because oh thats another thing that i dont know if this is the guy. And go there. At the time of his brothers death of a druggie flayed his village. He now lives in a camp for internally displaced people on the outskirts of my degree. So what i mean the one who was in the sorority government. When they were going to. Get it down always. Believed to do we were no one any one no whiny anyone no whiny oh my god annie. In the corner go in to god he has anybody seen that. I mean intend i think i should want to see you again if i die while on now moments when i shall but as im going to get into. Another nick and i say how i am in the n. B. A. She hasnt yet. And its not just civilians are taking tramadol also came here to investigate suspicions that the drug is fueling the insurgency itself we tracked down to form a book around member for security reasons we could only interview him at a hotel. Like many of these arrested boko haram fighters he was forced to join the movement when he was in the teens. He was in the movement for 4 years before escaping. Now he lives in a refugee. My degree. Yes anybody. Coming. In. Once they were hooked on tramadol put them to work because. The drug enabled them to carry out these arduous 24 missions it was also used to groom them for what was to come. So. That that. Hes led the group to become even more violent committing attacks suicide bombings and most infamously the abduction of 276 school girls from chibok village 2014. When youre listening. To. The tramadol will also help to deeply traumatic memory. She. Actually did she. Yes you no doubt that the drug is essential to sustaining book insurgency but i want to. Go. Finally we travel westwards to car my dear is 2nd largest city. Its got one of the highest poverty rates the country and also some of its worst tramadol abuse. At the mean you can a teaching hospital. Of legally prescribed tramadol and the dangers of the illegal street version can be seen in one location. Today this morning. With the patients. The psychiatric ward is struggling to cope with the fallout from the abuse grade version we have 44 beats. 50 to 60 percent of our clients people. Use cross due to the lack of resources drug users share the same ward with psychiatric patients we handle those are all sometimes which takes a short period of time and then we have to undo the psychological depend. On issue of their own back and it takes a long time even after you need to be seeing the person for quite a long time as our patient. But the flip side of the tramadol dilemma is this over regulating it would have disastrous results in a general ward we visit a patient for whom trammels an essential pain treatment. Suffers from Sickle Cell Disease a blood disorder which causes acute pain and stunts growth although he looks much younger hes actually 18. And you know. This is one of the problems. 2018 the Nigerian Government in an effort to clamp down on the beauty of coding based cough syrups banned them extensively some doctors and experts are concerned that the authorities might resort to similar tactics. If you ban drugs. Because. They need the drug so if you make it difficult to get this. Visit the local commander. In the city they tell us they slowly winning the war against illegal trying. To illustrate they doing to show us what used to be a. Prison is relocated to make room for confiscated. Not only is it being sold nigeria but its being trafficked to neighboring countries to have. Something. This is the very. Existence of. The. Last. To be. Asked. To do for. The 1st 5 months since its. All this trouble they tell us mr stern for destruction of the jail full of it is just a drop in the ocean the country still drowning in the drug. Next we join in india a drug raid. Looking and acting very much like the americans you train them they take to the streets in an armored convoy. In a display of force they travel through kano shunting traffic over the rising you know you hear they disembark to read a large local market. E. V. Handed operation probably put on for our benefit produces few results they arrest a young man wearing a cannabis t. Shirt. Its unclear if you even has any cannabis on him nevertheless hes bundled onto an india a truck which is fast filling up with other young men from the market. Nigeria has a 55 percent youth Unemployment Rate and it also has the highest number of People Living in extreme poverty in the world even more than india so men like these sometimes turn to drug dealing out of necessity. Has not said since the raid brets up but can i jerry is war against illegal tramadol really be one with guns without addressing the underlying causes of poverty unemployment and inequality that seems highly unlikely. Ah. 3 months of protests on an unprecedented scale have virtually power lies tongue what began as opposition to an extradition law has escalated into a broader prodemocracy government movement. So how and why has this crisis developed what the protesters want. In the 1st of 2 special reports people in power traces the dramatic evolution of hong kong summer of defiance on the.

Hello and welcome to this aljazeera news hour live from doha im Martine Denis coming up in the next 60 minutes. 6 separatists in yemen celebrate saying theyve retaken the port city of a them with the help of the u. A. E. Airstrike that killed at least 10 government soldiers. The British Government defends its decision to suspend parliament but opponents say its an outrage thats designed to curtail debate on brets at. A south Korean Court Orders a retrial in a Corruption Case involving a former president and a top samsung and executive. Im going to ask the with the sports arena william survives a scare to reach round 3 at the u. S. Open. But we start in yemen where reports now suggest that back southern separatists have regained full control of the coastal city of aden but the situation remains fluid now this is video that was posted by the separatists and it seems to show them celebrating very close to the entrance to aden. Its believed that the u. A. E. Actually carried out an airstrike and killed at least 10 government soldiers in all this comes 24 hours after Government Troops backed by saudi arabia took control of the airport and the president ial palace Government Forces say theyre now sending for reinforcements and the violence has exposed an apparent rift in the saudi u. A. E. Coalition coalition each country appearing to back different sides right lets. Now whos editor in chief of International Interest is joining us live from london sami just to clarify 1st off who is fighting whom in this particular battle its the separatists this is a group who want independence they want yemen to go back to preone 1904 when yemen was united in 1900 between north and south and has them essentially against the rest of the views against against the other groups all who are seeking to restore the internationally recognized government maybe not necessarily because of the International Government but at least to protect a framework that will prevent later the future of yemen being decided solely by the views on one side and the sun the separatist on the other the southern separatists are backed by the u. A. E. 100 percent the other forces are semi backed by saudis saudi is caught in this awkward limbo whereby it does not necessarily want to discard its alliance 5 with the u. A. E. But it knows that if yemen devised in the humiliation will be on saudi arabia and not necessarily on the u. A. E. Saudi arabia knows that if yemen splits between north and south so it is likely to be pro you eat the north is likely to be pro iran saudi arabia is the part of that loses society or it is caught in this awkward limbo right so how far then is the fighting that were witnessing today how far is this a consequence of this rift having developed between the former Coalition Partners a saudi arabia. I think its quite its very complex this relation between u. A. E. And saudi arabia because when the yemen conflict 1st took place there were only 2 capable fighting forces that could push back the who they were the Muslim Brotherhood who do youi and saudi believed outright that they could not back them because they were pro cutter and then there were the southern separatists one would have a bit of an express to have a busy that he had concerns over backing the southern separatists because they might pursue an independent agenda will there be reassured to be are they would be able to handle such a separatist however it seems that the u. A. E. Have been planning this for quite some time indeed the week before the southern separatists entered addon the twitter army of the u. A. E. That is that you and i have the word coming out to tweet saying by the way you guys did you know that yemen was never really united the war in yemen has ended according to the u. A. E. There is no point in trying to push back to the movies because its now a stalemate one week later we have a coup in other words the u. A. E. You were pushing this you had the saudi to army saying to you you have betrayed us we are stabbing us in the back of you youre turning against us so we do goes to this particular rift it seems that the u. A. E. Was always trying to pursue this independent Foreign Policy agenda but because saudi arabia feels it is surrounded by iran because it had been cement feels that it doesnt have support of the domestic family mohammed bin zayed of although he was vital in convincing washington to back mohammed businessman businessman went along with mohammed bin zayed because he had no other choice or and now it seems that because it is trying to see how far you can push this relationship or right now sami what about then the u. N. Effort for peace the u. N. Effort on behalf of the people of yemen who are caught in this the most the most distressing humanitarian situation in the world right now they try to get some sort of ceasefire if you like pertaining to the area of data but how does that fit in to warring these warring sides taking the battle to aden. The u. N. Is the biggest contributor to the disaster in yemen more so than saudi arabia more so to the u. A. E. The reason why is because when the took some eye in the beginning the original coup against the government came about from a National Dialogue that united all of the parties instead of the un telling the oath these who are waiting for 2 weeks to see what the International Relations International Community reaction would be the u. N. Basically said to the fees if you can clear up the mess and do a government will recognize it then when the hokies couldnt do it the u. N. Started to bring the parties to the table that had the most power and try to essentially do away with the International Recognized government and try to form some sort of government that all of the parties would agree on essentially it destroyed the original dialogue and try to do a new one by doing this it sent a clear message essentially un is saying to the any parties look were not willing to exert the resources necessary to bring back the National Dialogue government but if any one of you guys can clear up this mess any one of you guys can bring stability whether its coffees the s. T. C. Islam or the other tribes were ready to recognize because all we want is an end to the war now think of the impact that has on the armed groups in yemen if youre the leader of an armed group now you know that the u. N. Is not interested in democracy is not interested in National Dialogue is not interested in agreement between the parties it is interested in who is the strongest and who can bring stability so i can take enough cities if i can last long enough if i can survive the saudi backlash and survive the backlash you one will recognize me so no one is interested in u. N. Cease fire no interest in what the u. N. Has to say because the s. T. C. Know that if they take added in the south the u. N. Will recognize them all right thank you for that sorry. To just live from london thank you. That the British Government has defended Prime Minister Boris Johnsons decision to suspend palm and opposition politicians are planning an emergency debate from monday after the leader of the house of commons challenge them to either change the loral the government jacob riis smoke says its now up to the e. U. To decide if it wants to renegotiate or breaks it Dale Lawrence lee has more now from london. Bricks it was is and remains an idea about the British Parliament taking back control of the Agenda Setting its own laws and making its own rules so what to make of the decision by the new Prime Minister to block it from sitting at all for a 5 week period at the most crucial moments in the entire process. With one eye on a very possible National Election johnson insists its about setting out his new governments plans and that m. P. s are not being frozen out of having their say over bricks it will be time on both sides of that crucial october 17th summit ample time in parliament for m. P. s to debate the e. U. Debate breaks it and all the other issues ample time but those m. P. s who have vowed to do anything in their power to block a no deal bricks its even threaten to set up an alternative parliaments if their views are ignored describe the johnson move as nothing short of a constitutional outrage a step on the road to dictatorship it is a constitution that rage this is an attempt by a Prime Minister who was elected by a very small number of people in the country has served the Party Membership to ride roughshod over parliament and prevent any legislation or debate that would stop this country leaving me you without a deal and all the problems that it will cause he seems to want to run headlong into the arms of donald trump. More determination to see this before this is extraordinary johnson had been thought to have been getting on better with european leaders of late and hope had not been lost among them that some new deal could be found but time is now extremely short and theres a genuine sense of crisis among those who fear the hardest of brics its the great conundrum of a brecht it has always been whether it should simply fall to government through execute the will of the people or whether parliamentarian should have some kind of final say to determine what thought of brechts it they think people actually voted for by taking m. P. s out of play at such a crucial time johnson is effectively testing whether they have the will the resolve to try to overthrow him his government and potentially the referendum result as well that. Attempts will now probably come sooner rather than Later National elections will almost certainly follow something surely must happen now to resolve this sense of democratic crisis in the u. K. Lawrence Lee Al Jazeera london where another of our correspondents the barker has more now on the protests that followed mr johnsons announcement. In the past 2 years since the brakes a referendum the conversation the Public Discourse surrounding leaving the e. U. Has grown uglier and uglier who would have thought only a few years ago that the word coup would be used in relation to britains democracy but thats exactly what these demonstrates the calling the decision by Boris Johnson to suspend or paroch Parliament Next Week know how Boris Johnson of course sees it he sees it very much in somewhat procedural terms as a way of making sure that m. P. s are out of the way not in the equation anymore to make sure that the British Government can pass much needed legislation when it comes to the humdrum day to day stuff of running the country things like roads Education Health care and so on and so forth but these people and those opposed to leaving the e. U. Without a deal strongly disagree with that standpoint point believing very much that Boris Johnson wants to keep leaving the e. U. Without a deal on the table until the dying moments just before the 31st which remains of course in legislation when the u. K. Still will leave the European Union according to m. P. s the knives boken to including hillary ban the prominent opposition labor m. P. Who is the chair of the Cross Party Committee on leave in the European Union they intend when m. P. s return to palma next week to challenge the position for a much in the same way that they challenge to reason may and her vision of bricks it is what every band had to say a little earlier i think the priority is to prevent or no deal breaks it because thats the reason that he is doing this he knows that isnt probably a majority in the house of commons to support him for a no deal breaks it and hes trying to make it very difficult for m. P. s to stop him from achieving that the only problem is that time is running out m. P. s only have a matter of days next week to coalesce around a single idea Boris Johnson believes that hes delivering the will of the people all knowing the results of the referendum but parliamentarian say that they represent the real will of the people they will fight this
