These groups terrorize the peoples of Angola and Sierra Leone. Murder and mutilation are the trade marks of these groups. Most famous for chopping off hands, arms or legs of small children.

Historical Overview

Conflict

Diamonds that fuel civil wars are often called "blood" or "conflict" diamonds. Although many diamond-fueled wars have now ended, conflict diamonds remain a serious problem. In 2013, a civil war erupted in the Central African Republic, with both sides fighting over the country’s diamond resources.

Blood diamonds or war diamonds are called that because they came from a country in the middle of a war insurgency.They are found in the Sierra Leone.
