I certainly expect that there's a problem to solve here, but it's completely obvious how much this writer is trying to steer my opinion by the third paragraph. I can't treat this as journalism, it's just a constant stream of appeals to emotion and accusations.
Does anyone here pass through that area? How bad is it actually?

My expectation is that there is a drug problem in the area, the 'article' is exaggerating it by an order of magnitude, and that that the real goal is political and not humanitarian.
