After the regime became unable to finance the militias loyal to it, it started turning a blind eye to the illegal actions of this militia in the cultivation and manufacture of narcotic substances on the pretext of obtaining funds from this trade to cover the costs of its fighters. This increased the number of entities affiliated with the regime that cultivate, manufacture, and trade narcotic substances.
