Senators approved a drug-control proposal intended to combat trafficking and strengthen public security. Its sponsor, Yves Fortuné Moundele-Ngollo Ehourossia, linked illicit drugs to organised crime, money laundering, corruption and violence. The debate came more than twenty years after Congo approved accession to the UN drug conventions; President Denis Sassou-N'Guesso signed the new drug law in August.[1]
