Senegal: Seizures 'not making a huge dent' in cocaine trafficking trade
The Senegalese navy seized more than 800kg of cocaine off the coast of Dakar on Sunday.
The operation was the latest in a series of recent raids as the country is increasingly used as a transit point for cocaine trafficking from South America to Europe.
Lucia Bird - the Director of the West Africa Observatory and Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime - explains Senegal's growing role in the international drug trade.
