The analysis focuses on the dark connection between diamonds and conflict in Africa, particularly during the civil war in Sierra Leone, which was fueled by illegal diamond sales. It examines the role of Charles Taylor, former President of Liberia, in funding rebel forces responsible for severe human rights violations, including brutal amputations and other atrocities. The document highlights how a natural resource meant to benefit the population instead contributed to widespread suffering and violence, implicating both rebel and government forces in these crimes against humanity.
