Diamond-fuelled wars have killed over 4 million people, destroyed countries, and displaced millions more.
Blood diamonds are not just a problem of the past – blood diamonds from West Africa are currently reaching international markets. The UN recently reported $23 million in blood diamonds from the Ivory Coast are being smuggled into international diamond markets. Diamonds have fuelled the conflict in the Congo (DRC), the bloodiest war since WWII; armed violence and human rights abuses continue over control of diamonds mines in eastern Congo. As the brutal conflict in Sierra Leone shows, even a small amount of conflict diamonds can wreak enormous havoc in a country.
