| Summary, etc | Since 2006, fears have been growing that African, particularly West African, countries are being used as trans-shipment points for shipments from Asia of precursor chemicals such as ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, the main chemicals used in the illicit manufacture of amphetamine-type stimulants such as methamphetamine and methcathinone. The final destinations of these chemicals are countries in Central and North America, and to a lesser extent, South Africa. In 2008, the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) identified Africa as the region with the greatest number of diversions or attempted diversions of ATS precursor chemicals. Target countries of such diversions in recent years include Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Togo, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania and Zambia. |
