Blood+Diamonds+or+Conflict+Diamonds

=Blood Diamonds or Conflict Diamonds -= - blood diamond is any diamond that originates from the war affected area. Many rebels use these blood diamonds to fund their cause and they use civilian population (mostly children) to work for them as slaves and prisoners. These children have been taken from their families and forced to dig alluvial pits just so they could get their hands on precious diamonds and thousands of children in Africa are suffering because of this precious gemstone.
