Colombia: Coca, conflict, corruption, oh my!

According to a recently released U.N. report, coca production in Colombia grew for the first time in 5 years inasmuch as coca production in Peru and Bolivia has declined. The report comes on the heels of a corruption scandal in the Colombian armed forces triggered by the killing of ten intelligence officers by soldiers bribed by a top drug baron. Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministers of Colombia and South Africa agreed to cooperate with each other in order to combat Colombia’s “drug problem.”
