In light of the impressive successes achieved by security authorities in the Safi region in their battle against drug trafficking and international smuggling, drug cartels have resorted to using rural isolation-breaking roads to facilitate their operations. A notable incident occurred on the secondary road designed to connect the rural world, which links the center of Khemis Khezzan with the new port via Safi and the resort of Souiri. In the early hours of Friday, May 8th, around 3 AM, a truck laden with a massive quantity of cannabis resin, estimated in tons, overturned. It is believed that this load was destined for international smuggling via one of the Atlantic beaches.
Initial inspections suggest that the truck's overturning may have been caused by a malfunction in one of its rear tires, which led to a collision with an olive tree on the roadside. Upon learning of the incident, the head of the Khemis Khezzan district promptly arrived at the scene, accompanied by members of the auxiliary forces, alongside gendarmerie officers who oversaw the transportation of the drug bundles under the supervision of the regional commander.
As for the fate of the truck driver and any possible companions, we will await the outcome of the investigations and will keep you updated with any new developments.
