A blood diamond (also called a conflict diamond or a war diamond) is a diamond mined in a war zone and sold, usually clandestinely, in order to finance an insurgent or invading army's war efforts. [1] [2]

the diamonds got from conflict zones teh revenue from whose sale feeds warlords and clans, like in angola and ivory coast, mostly african countires.
the same scenerio exists for cocoa beans and rubber industry as the people working on those plantations are exploited and the revenues mosty goes for wars !!!
