The sad truth is that he may well be right: the national police (PNC) are notoriously corrupt, understaffed and inefficient, as much a part of the problem as the drug gangs themselves. Moreover, the armed forces have become a shadow of their former self, and still have human rights legacies hanging over them from the country’s bitter civil war.
令人悲哀的现实是他说的或许没错：国家警察（PNC）的腐败臭名昭著，人员配备不足而且效率低下，就像贩毒集团一样是问题的组成部分。此外，武装部队已经退化到不成样子，到现在依然无法摆脱惨烈内战遗留下来的人权传统。
