the theft of africa's natural resources, diamonds and amethyst, has kept those regions in constant turmoil just to be able to totally control said resources. no one, to this point, has tried to take a genuine stand against the diamond industry directly. embargo on, not just in the u. s., but a world wide ban on trafficking in diamonds.
