The African diamond buisness makes 81.4 billion dollars a year

10 million people work in diamond mines in Africa

More than 15,000 people die in diamond mines each year

People who mine the diamonds do it cause they cant afford school or food and governments use the money to support their military

I FOUND A DIAMOND !!!!!!!

In one day 10 people could find 2 to 3 slivers of diamonds in they are lucky

These people are just trying to put food on the table but this work can be very unforgiving

DIAMONDS!

Finally some Diamonds

When the diamonds are mined they are sold to a buyer who will sell his purchase to other buyers which leads to a diamond merchant going to the store where the diamonds are and purchasing them

Packets of Diamonds are said to change hands about 8 to 10 times before they even leave the country

These diamonds are headed for Kinshasawhich is the only place they can be certified for export

The blood diamonds are then shipped off to a place to be illegally sold.

The profits made off these diamonds are then used for the benefits of the Government and Military.

This ends the unfair cycle of the blood diamonds which has been going on for decades.
