Arya, last year I was watching a documentary on the diamond mines. Can you tell me if it was about the same area?
(I never get to watch a full documentary...I usually tune in after missing some pretty important info!!!)
The piece showed how the militants turned the village into basically, a situation of slavery. Any dissent was met with punishment not only to the adult, but they would chop off the legs of their infants. It showed the MAJORITY of individuals living in this town with a limb missing...even the children.
They pointed the finger at DeBeers for buying diamonds from the
guerillas and the government for the kickbacks from them.
Is this the same area?
This is really a sad situation. I hope the governmental changes help. but they have so MANY problems...
