Aggression is not only manifested in military aggression, but also in wealth and culture.
Do you know that diamonds are the root of wars in many African countries in a sense?
Diamonds, originally blessed by God, have now become a disaster in Sierra Leone!
It is no accident that bloody civil wars broke out in Sierra Leone, Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo. These countries have very rich diamond reserves, so the rebels dug up diamonds to buy weapons. They use the money from selling diamonds to buy tanks, pistols and uniforms, and even beer!
The rebel group in Sierra Leone is called the grandiose Revolutionary Alliance Front, but in fact it is notorious and heinous. All the prisoners who fell into his hands were all cut off their fingers and arms or their lips and ears, even children of three or four years old. This screening is the most cruel event in modern history, which caused about 200,000 deaths and tens of thousands of people were amputated or suffered severe mental trauma. During the civil war, rape incidents spread all over the country, and children were forced to participate.
Ten years ago, when the civil war began, there were only a few hundred rebels. However, since the decision to seal up the diamond mine, its number has also greatly increased to 654.38+0.5 million. This is because the diamond trade not only makes it possible to buy weapons, but also greatly enhances their influence.
Diamonds dug up in Sierra Leone were first transferred to neighboring Liberia and then flowed into the European jewelry market. In addition, many diamonds produced by rebels have entered jewelry stores in new york, USA, and of course many are in China! ! ! ! ! !
Diamonds, the most beautiful diamonds that women all over the world yearn for, condense the blood and tears of African people! ! ! Only the Sierra Leonean people with many hands and feet know how terrible the bloody diamonds have brought to the local people. In order to drive the residents out of the diamond mining area, the verdict cut off people's hands and triggered a bloody terrorist incident.
The diamonds we give our lovers as gifts are so expensive that children in Sierra Leone, Angola and Congo have to exchange them by hand. We can't help others anymore.
