Afghan drug lord

An Afghan drug lord is a powerful individual involved in managing or controlling large-scale illegal drug production and distribution in Afghanistan, especially opium and heroin. They often operate within criminal organizations, using violence, corruption, and networks to expand their influence. Their activities contribute significantly to regional instability and international drug trafficking. These figures can wield considerable local power, sometimes intersecting with political or military entities, complicating efforts to combat drug-related crime and promote stability.
