West Africa's economy is based around oil drilling and blood diamonds. All diamonds bought and sold in the U.S. are blood diamonds, however, retailers paid high prices to agencies in order to have the "blood diamond" or "conflict diamond" designation removed, as there is a stigma in the United States attached to buying blood diamonds. Oil from Africa is also blood oil, but nobody speaks of this. Native peoples are displaced by Shell in order to get the oil and bribe the government officials.
