Diamonds have been used to pay militias and rebel groups for
decades due to their ease of transportation, global demand, and
reliable value. After diamonds fuelled conflict across Africa, the
Kimberley Process was created to stop the use of conflict diamonds,
but its limitations have left key loopholes open. Exploiting these
has allowed this trade to rampage through the African continent
once again. How can this process be reformed? And who will pay the
price?
On the panel this week.
