Introduction

Diamonds are forever, or are they. It might be more correct to say the impressions made from diamonds are forever. When a person thinks about diamonds, they might think of weddings or special occasions, but to the people of Africa diamonds mean war, turmoil and bloodshed

 Diamonds are one of the Earth’s most common elements; the price that the world has placed on them makes them not only a priceless commodity, but a dangerous one as well. Diamonds have been a treasure used throughout all time, whether it is for wealth, beauty or even science. Diamonds have made a lasting impression on many people for their beauty and usefulness.

Unfortunately the impression left upon the people of Africa will be a far uglier one.
