  • South America, Which They Believe Was Headed for South Africa
    AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST X-1 INCSR 2002 X-2 Africa and the Middle East Angola I. Summary Angola does not have significant drug production, trafficking, or use. Cannabis is cultivated and consumed locally, but in relatively modest quantities. Angolan drug counternarcotics officials report seizures of cocaine coming from South America, which they believe was headed for South Africa. Nigerian traffickers appear involved in this cocaine traffic predominantly from Brazil to South Africa. Angola is the only Southern African Development Community member that has not signed the SADC counternarcotics protocol. II. Status of Country Angola is not a major center of drug production, trafficking, money laundering, or precursor chemical diversion, and it is not likely to become one. In 2001, despite serious resource constraints, the Angolan National Police increased dramatically the amount of cocaine and cannabis they seized. The police attributed the increased number of seizures to the ever-greater emphasis they placed on drug seizures and greater awareness of Angola as a transshipment point for cocaine. III. Country Actions Against Drugs in 2001 Angola has not signed the SADC counternarcotics protocol. There have been no reported cases of public corruption connected to narcotics trafficking. Although Angola has enacted legislation mandating treatment for those convicted of narcotics use, no public treatment centers are available. Angola cooperates with South Africa in fighting the flow of cocaine from Angola to South Africa, and South Africa has offered training and equipment to the Angolan police. Angola also cooperates on a regional basis via SADC, despite its failure to sign the drug protocol.
