“Blood diamonds are gems that have been used to fund rebel groups in wars in Africa, leading to more than 4 million deaths and millions more people displaced from their homes” explains a joint statement from Global Witness and Amnesty International. The two human rights groups are driving international efforts to stop the worldwide trade of conflict diamonds and offer opportunities for individuals to get more involved with the issue. Blood diamonds featured in the Sierra Leone civil war and in Angola, Cote d'Ivoire, and the continued instability in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), among other places.
