This means that many people -- thousands -- use primitive tools to dig looking for diamonds, which are spotted when the soil dug is sifted. Individual workers may earn a subsistence wage, but they are often forced to pay for protection or their diamonds taken from them by armed rebels.Diamonds from Angola have funded civil unrest since 1974.Other countries similarly affected include Liberia, Cote d'Ivorie, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo and Zimbabwe.You can read more, below.
