Topics
播音员:本集讲述了2009年几内亚比绍总统若昂·贝纳多·维埃拉遇刺事件,以及该事件与该国长期权力斗争和毒品交易之间的联系。事件的发生是几内亚比绍长期政治动荡和毒品交易猖獗的残酷结果。 Sean Williams:几内亚比绍因其地理位置、人口统计和薄弱的执法而成为全球可卡因贩运的中心。毒品交易的规模远远超过该国的GDP,使其成为一个名副其实的“毒品国家”。 Danny Gold:几内亚比绍的毒品战争鲜为人知,但其规模和胆大妄为程度令人震惊。毒品交易网络错综复杂,涉及各种犯罪组织和个人。 Ed Vulliamy:几内亚比绍的夜总会和社会各个层面都反映了该国毒品交易的猖獗程度。毒品交易已经渗透到社会各个层面,甚至影响到普通民众的生活。 DEA探员:几内亚比绍的失败国家地位使其成为毒品贩运的理想场所。执法机构的薄弱和腐败使得毒品犯罪难以打击。 Antonio Maria Costa:几内亚比绍的毒品查获事件中,大量可卡因被盗,这表明执法部门的腐败。 几内亚比绍官员:几内亚比绍政府本身就是毒品犯罪问题的一部分。政府的腐败和无能使得毒品交易难以控制。 Marco Venasci:几内亚比绍的政治动荡和毒品交易相互交织,导致了暴力事件和权力斗争。安东尼奥·恩贾伊是该国毒品交易网络的主要人物,他利用权力和影响力参与毒品交易,并试图发动政变。 Pierre Lepac:几内亚比绍的毒品犯罪是一个严重的问题,对该国的稳定和发展构成威胁。

Guinea-Bissau's history of political instability, lack of governance, and economic hardship has made it a prime location for the global cocaine trade, transforming it into a narco-state.

Shownotes Transcript

Does any country deserve the title of narco-state more than tiny Guinea-Bissau? The West African nation has become the beating heart of the global cocaine trade, with political leaders serving as little more than pawns in a trade that transformed its cashew coast into a gangster’s paradise. And it doesn’t even have any proper prisons! We explore street fights, assassinations, DEA plots, Colombian conspiracies - and a round-bellied former military chief that totally isn’t a druglord, pinky promise. A truly incredible melting pot of crime on the streets of whose tumbledown capital city cocaine bricks, not banknotes, have become the principle currency.
