| Description |
Embodied a "girl's best friend" by Marilyn Monroe, diamonds have recently reappeared in the media in the guise of a "guerrilla's best friend:" precious stones financing armed groups responsible for tens of thousands of deaths in Angola, DR Congo, or Sierra Leone. These so-called "conflict" or "blood" diamonds have come to symbolize the "heart of the matter" in the "heart of darkness:" the chief prize of greedy warlords rampaging a lost continent. |
