In October, a member of the Reddit community r/meth, an online hub for methamphetamine enthusiasts, went viral for a series of posts purporting to be from an active duty soldier in the Sudanese civil war. In one post, he talks about looting baggies of crystal from the lifeless corpses of fallen foes. In another post, he’s dropping notoriously inaccurate barrel bombs “filled with whatever will go boom” from an old, Soviet-era warplane.
This wasn’t the first time 31-year-old Adande had tried meth. After having largely grown up abroad, he’d already been busted for dealing the drug in Oman.
