A report details a drug trafficking route, dubbed the 'Sahel Express' or 'Cocaine Superhighway,' originating in Venezuela's Apure state. Clandestine airstrips, allegedly sanctioned by Venezuelan military generals, receive cocaine from FARC dissidents. The drugs are then transported via convoys of trucks across Mali and Niger, with the Venezuelan National Guard reportedly providing security for loading zones, transforming the region into a logistics hub for narcotics destined for Europe.
