Cure de désintoxication en Afghanistan
Travis Beard
Les 2/3 de son PIB provenant de l’industrie de l’opium, l’Afghanistan possède une histoire de la drogue profondément enracinée dans sa culture. Depuis la dernière invasion états-unienne, la production d’opium n’a cessé de croître chaque année. L’opium est utilisé par une grande partie de la population, principalement pour des raisons médicales. Ce n’est que depuis la chute des Talibans que les réfugiés sont revenus, rapportant avec eux les connaissances sur la manière de s’injecter de l’héroïne ou de l’opium. Une nouvelle épidémie a surgi à présent : le VIH est en train de balayer un pays qui n’avait jamais été confronté à lui par le passé. Les centres de rééducations sont peu nombreux et les besoins sont grands. De nombreux drogués refusent l’aide qu’on leur propose, y compris lorsqu’on va les chercher dans la rue.
