"Except for the minister of the interior himself, Mr. Ali Jalali, all the
lower people from the heads of department down are involved in supporting
drug smuggling," says Ikramuddin, who now serves as Afghanistan's minister
of labor.

Ikramuddin says that many of these policemen and commanders are former
warlords who have disarmed and reintegrated into government jobs, and are
now using their position to facilitate the drug trade and get rich.

Among those corrupt commanders, he says, is Inayatullah, the police chief
from Yawan, a district in the former governor's province. "Commander
Inayatullah is a smuggler, I know him well," Ikramuddin says. "There is a
competition among smugglers, that is why Inayatullah arrested Safiullah and
the others. It's not to do his job honestly, but just to weaken a
competitor."

Goh, Het is ook overal 1 pot nat bij de politie.
