Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
U.S. law enforcement officials are celebrating the arrest of a drug boss in Colombia last week. Diego Montoya was responsible for funneling seventy percent of cocaine into the U.S., and had a ruthless reputation in his own country. Kojo explores the drug trade and whether the arrest of traffickers in Latin America affects the war on drugs in our region.
