Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The United Nations says that although the poppy cultivation in Afghanistan increased by 32 percent in the first season of the year, they expect that with the implementation of the ruling of the leader of the Islamic Emirate, in the current season Poppy cultivation will decrease significantly.
Roza Atenbayeva, the UN Secretary General's special representative for Afghanistan, said at the UN Security Council meeting that the Islamic Emirate has done better so far in the implementation of this ruling, but in three months it will be known whether the Taliban are serious about banning poppy cultivation or not.
The United Nations report, which was published at the beginning of the month of Scorpio this year, stated that poppy cultivation in Afghanistan increased by 32 percent this year, but the Islamic Emirate at that time claimed that the report's findings were before the ruling of the leaders. They will return.
Three weeks have passed since the beginning of the new poppy cultivation season in the warm provinces of the country, and the Islamic Emirate claimed that in the last week, their forces in Uruzgan, Helmand, Laghman and Kunar provinces have cleared more than one hundred acres of land from poppy bushes.
In the new report of the United Nations, which was presented to the Security Council of this organization, it is stated that (85) percent of the world's opium is still produced in Afghanistan and there is no obstacle against its smuggling.
The Ministry of Interior said that banning the collection of narcotics and its use in the production of narcotics is part of their fight against narcotics, that's why they discovered and set fire to three warehouses in Farah, Ghor and Helmand provinces last week.
