Residents of Kailahun District are voicing growing frustration over the rampant use of kush, a harmful substance that has severely impacted the lives of many young people in the region.
The community is calling for urgent intervention, describing the situation as a public health crisis.
Concerned parent Mabaindu Sheriff urged women in the community to stage protests against the drug. “Kush has damaged many lives. Young people who were once responsible have deteriorated, and many have even dropped out of universities and colleges,” she lamented, stressing the need for a united effort to raise awareness and provoke change.
Echoing her concerns, Mammy Dambo called for government support to organize a peaceful protest. She suggested that community members wear black and white attire as a symbol of their fight against kush. “We need the government to take a strong stance against the importation of kush and other harmful substances,” Dambo said, describing the situation as a pandemic threatening the youth’s future.
In response, Sergeant Denis Jusu emphasized the importance of staying within the law while combating the crisis. “While we must work to eradicate kush from our country, it is crucial that we do so within the confines of the law. The law must remain above all,” he advised. Jusu warned that failure to act promptly could put the future of generations at serious risk.
As the debate surrounding kush continues, residents remain hopeful for proactive measures from both local authorities and the government to tackle this growing epidemic and safeguard the futures of young people in Kailahun.
