-Central and West African countries.

-Warlords use extreme violence to force the locals into extracting diamonds.

-Civil war in Sierra Leone, RUF killed , threatened, and cut off the limbs of people until they took control of their diamond mines.

-Sierra Leone 20,000 people were mutilated, nd millions fled the country.
-Blood diamonds are responsible for 4 million deaths. 

-The problem of blood diamonds was not widespread, until Leonardo de capris, made a movie called blood Diamonds.

-The movie just responded with more people buying diamonds.

-2002 the KPCS was created to stop blood diamonds from getting into legitimate markets.

- The diamond industry predicted and the UN set up the KPCS.

-The Diamond industry says 99.8% of diamonds are conflict free.

-2006 23million $ of blood diamonds got snuck into, by KPCS countries. 

-KPCS uses poor corrupt country's gov. to check their diamonds.

-One of the founders of the Kimberly Process, Ian Smillie,  resigned from the group not long ago citing its ineffectiveness.

-Diamond Trade is not all bad. Legal diamonds promote development in underdeveloped nations.

-The Kimberly Process did, at initially, managed to curb a significant amount of violence related to blood diamonds.

- consumer help, not much. There really isn't any way to know where the diamond came from.

-Well, you could try synthetic diamonds. The natural diamond monopolies hate those and good ones are chemically indistinguishable.

You could fly to Africa and make sure the diamonds are legit with your own two eyes.

-You could also just try to stay informed about how the things you buy everyday get onto store shelves through channels of violence and exploitation.

-At any rate the diamond industry continues to grow every year

-this provides underdeveloped economies with jobs and corrupt political systems with money ]]> 2017-12-01 02:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/2105991/csivisxkdxwo/wish/212129389 2105991 https://padlet.com/2105991/csivisxkdxwo/wish/212132871 Child soldier 
 Child that is under the age of 18 and is introduced to war
Violence against populations.
Child soldiers are susceptible,  to drugs, and killing innocents. I think that they recruit child soldier, because they are young and don't have as much education about the world, and if at a young age they are captured, and enslaved they will not fight back.
