    Diamonds are the most frequently used form capital by the rebels in Angola, Sierra Leone, and the Democratic Republic of Congo use to purchase weapons. The earliest gem diamonds were found in India and Borneo, were they were found in riverbeds. In the early eighteenth century, deposits similar to those in India were found in Brazil. The story of diamonds in Africa began between December 1866 and February 1867, when a 15-year-old found a transparent stone on his father's farm, on the south bank of the Orange River. Within the next fifteen years, African diamond mines produced more diamonds than the India, the previous leading producer, had in the last 2,000 years. This increase in production occurred at the same time as the diamond mines in Brazil experiences a sharp decline in their production. The depletion of mines in Brazil assured that supply would remain stable and diamond prices would not fall as they previously had when Brazil over produced in the 1730s.[2][2]…

Fear that your hands will get severed off, or fear that your wife and sister will get raped by the R.U.F that occupy the uncontrolled lands. Australia, Canada, Namibia, South Africa, and Tanzania are the countries that have been able to invest the revenue from diamonds into the development of infrastructure, schools and hospitals for the good of the communities where diamonds are found. Diamond-rich Botswana has used its mines, which are partially owned by the state, to fund infrastructure, education and health care, as well as set aside a rainy-day fund of nearly $7 billion. But Botswana has something essential that other African countries do not: a government known for…

Wars are part of every civilization both small tribes and mighty nations in Africa have been involved in war since people first carved knives out of stone. Despite decades of conflict, death and tragedy issues in Africa have often been ignored, oversimplified, or focused on limited aspects. “There are currently fifteen African countries involved in war, or are experiencing post-war conflict and tension. At the base of these wars is the rich natural resources each of these poor countries hold of timber, oil, and diamonds”(African sun news). Unreported use of the money to create and fund wars. The wars serve the purpose of creating a distraction, as the countries and their displaced citizens are robbed of their countries ' natural resources, which are easily converted to cash, for the personal use and fortunes of ruling parties. Tribal conflict are deliberately antagonized, so it can be blamed for the conflict.…
