US negatived Warlord’s proposal for Eradication of Opium from the SHAN STATE, 3 June 1989.
As the expenditure of worldwide drug supression funds grows so does the production and distribution of opium products. Billions of dollars have been spent to stop drugs,yet trafficking from the Golden Triangle has steadily escalated. The raw opium annually produced about 1,000 tons in Wa State and Gogang state while about 500 tons are sporadically produced throughout the State. But in good season, the figure increased to 2,000 tons in the three States. “Existing drug suppression programs aren’t working. How do you think such enormous shipments can be exported from this
underdeveloped region without the badges, credentials, clearances and involvement of corrupt authorities? It can’t and is isn’t!. Tax payer dollars only increase the incentive of those involved in drug suppression to increase the flow of nacotics” said the Warlord. ”There is a positive solution. By uprooting all opium plants there can be no processing of heroin.The problems associated with addiction would go away,disarming those who wouldl legalize drugs.Within five to seven years, opium from the Golden Triangle can be extinct ! We have the capability and desire. We will do the work, but we need help.”
The Mong Tai Army is an exceptionally disciplined,equipped,and spirited self defense force that secures our borders from all invaders.The solidarity of our free people insures our continued security. We control our region ande the drugs that pass through it. We can stop the trafficking and eliminate all future growing. To do it only requires reasonable assistance and cooperation in replacing our economic dependency on poppies.
