Conflict Diamonds

First thing, conflict diamonds are some times called blood diamonds because many people and children are died from it. As a customer you can help many people and also many children by buy conflict-free diamonds.

Most conflict diamonds come from Africa and especially from Angola, Congo, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Those countries have many wars between each other for diamonds.

In 2003 there is international certification called the Kimberley process which try to stop the conflict diamonds. They put many suggestions to avoid wars and now the conflict diamonds is less than before but this not mean is finished!!


NOW how we can stop conflict diamonds and help those people

First, you must be sure about the source of these diamonds and if they got it from these countries (Angola, Congo, Liberia, and Sierra Leone) don’t buy it. You should check from the shops which sell these diamonds and ask the Jeweler from where it comes these daimonds?. The last thing you should do it is read about conflict diamonds and try to be sure about what you buy of diamonds and think about those people and children. They suffer of conflict diamonds.

In my opinion, I think stop conflict diamonds is very difficult because in each country in the world there are good people, bad people and those bad people will try to get money from any thing and they don’t care about the children and the poor people.
