The report does not mention the fact that Khat is an amphetamine-like stimulant; an illegal drug in many countries.
What about Malta?

I don't know how many people will agree with my comment hereunder, but isn't this attitude a primitive custom which is an immediate example to tribalism? One last point which i consider as aprimary concern regarding immigration, if Malta should bend to the directives being pushed by EU, where we have to process immigrants within six months from arrival date, doesn't it increase this type of violent risk?

Aren't these immigrants being seen too much on the news when compared to their population?
