- Captagon:
- Drug Composition: Captagon was originally the brand name for a pharmaceutical formulation of fenethylline, a synthetic stimulant. Today, the Captagon tablets found on the illicit market typically contain amphetamine, caffeine, and other additives.
- Effects: It produces a sense of heightened alertness, energy, and euphoria, making it popular among various groups, including fighters in conflict zones for its stamina-boosting effects.
- Syria's Role:
- Manufacturing Hub: Syria has become a major hub for the production of Captagon, particularly in regions controlled by the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
- Economic Impact: The Captagon trade has become a significant source of revenue for the Syrian economy, especially in the context of the ongoing civil war and economic sanctions.
- State Involvement: There are allegations of state involvement or at least tolerance of the production and trafficking of Captagon within Syria, with reports suggesting that high-ranking officials and military figures might be complicit or directly involved.
- Hezbollah's Role:
- Distribution Network: Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based militant group and political party, is believed to play a key role in the trafficking and distribution of Captagon. They leverage their extensive smuggling networks to move the drug across borders and into international markets.
- Financial Gain: The proceeds from Captagon trafficking are thought to fund Hezbollah’s military and political activities, providing a substantial income stream outside of traditional funding sources.
- Global Impact:
- Regional Spread: The primary market for Captagon is in the Gulf countries, where it is consumed by various social groups. The drug's proliferation has led to significant public health and security concerns in these regions.
- International Concerns: The international community, including agencies like the United Nations, has raised concerns about the impact of Captagon trafficking on regional stability and global security, given its links to organized crime and terrorism.
