Explanation: In the readings, the CNID (Central Narcotics Intelligence Bureau) was established in Egypt as part of the monarchy’s effort to combat drugs, particularly hashish, during the interwar period. It operated under King Fuad’s regime and reflected Egypt’s growing participation in international anti-narcotics frameworks, while also serving domestic state-building and policing goals.
