Narcotic “Shabu” mixed with tobacco invades Socotra

SOCOTRA, Jun. 27 (YPA) – Informed sources on Sunday revealed the first operation to promote hashish and drugs in the Yemeni Socotra archipelago province, controlled by the UAE.

The sources confirmed that one of the elements brought in by the UAE from Dhalea province and Yafea area, was found in his possession the narcotic substance “Shabu” mixed with a bag of tobacco, which is widely spread in the southern provinces.

The sources reported that Shabu is used by most elements of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) on the island and the rest of the southern province after being mixed with some types of tobacco, considering its spread in Socotra a disaster targeting the island’s youth.

The Saudi-led coalition countries flooded the southern provinces with various types of hashish and drugs, which have spread widely among young men and girls there.
