Pablo Escobar's death is not the key to change Colombia's drug war, but the most important thing is that the United States entered the war on a large scale. Thanks to the help of the United States, the Colombian government finally won. However, the so-called victory of the Colombian government is only that no drug dealer dares to openly rely on drug trafficking to resist the United States. Drug trafficking or drug trafficking, the number of drugs imported into the United States has not decreased every year.
As we all know, the United States is the largest drug consumer in the world, and cocaine produced in Colombia almost monopolized the entire American drug market in the 1980s. Coca leaf is the basic raw material for producing cocaine. At that time, the annual output of coca leaves in Colombia was 30,000 tons. Besides coca, there is also marijuana. The annual output of cannabis in Colombia ranges from 7,500 tons to 9,000 tons. From here, marijuana flows into the United States, accounting for more than 59% of the total consumption of marijuana in the United States, and cocaine accounts for 75% of the total consumption.
In order to destroy the Medellin Group, the Colombian government spent nearly 10 years, and after three presidents, it finally succeeded. 10, Colombia, a country with a population of less than 30 million, lost 200,000 lives, and more than a dozen ministerial officials, 3,500 government workers, 157 judges and more than 2,000 military and police officers lost their lives. Medellin Group has created vicious terrorist incidents again and again. Bogota, the capital of Colombia, became the "capital of assassination", and the US Embassy in Colombia had to build a reinforced concrete fortress. The neighboring United States, Cuba, Panama and even the whole world are involved in the crimes of the Medellin Group.
