Conflicts Diamond

The diamonds is the most beautiful stone in the world and of course it's the most expensive stone. Some people love diamonds more than anything especially the girls and women because they think if they wear it they would be very beautiful, as they say, diamonds is a girls best friend. but the problem is some of these women don't know how these diamonds came or from where they came. Some of these diamonds cause a lot of damage or some times it becomes the reason to kill someone, or even conflict war. that’s called " Conflicts Diamond " which I will write about it in this essay.


There are a lot of diamond-producing countries around the world like Botswana, South Africa, Angola, Russia and Canada. Although Antwerp has been a diamond centre for 600 years, they import the majority of their diamonds from Africa where it's the most diamond-producing continents. Unfortunately there are a lot of poor people around the world worked in this business to provide the food for their family. These diamond miners spend a lot of hours daily struggling searching for the diamond although they get very small salary. Sometimes these diamond miners who work in dangerous places became victims of crossfire between Rebel groups. These groups use the money from selling diamonds that came by diamond miners to buy guns and other military hardware.


We should know everything about that what we want to buy before we buy it because we could help these murders and the Rebel groups unintentionally. We should know that not everything shining is perfect. And to not take anything for granted.
