diamonds to buy guns and other
military hardware.
• About 3.7 million people have died in
diamond-fuelled wars. Millions of others
have lost their homes and livelihoods.
• Workers wash
gravel to find
diamonds in
Sierra Leone.
• Sierra Leone is rich in
diamonds. The trade in
illicit gems, known as
"blood diamonds" for their
role in funding conflicts,
perpetuated the civil war.
 • The country is still considered a
fragile state and faces the challenges
of poverty, corruption and economic
mismanagement.
Let us all avoid conflict
diamonds.
How would you feel after
buying a diamond
and not knowing if it is a
conflict diamond..
Don’t let people die in
your hand.
Make sure you are buying
a conflict-free
diamond.
We all are people, and we
are one….
And we don’t want people
to get killed…
