Sierra Leone-(blood diamonds)
Over the past couple of years there has been a war going on centered right in Sierra Leone because rebels felt that the government was not running correctly and that they were corrupt. The rebels set up ambushes in the jungle area that was a major traffic area and they shot and killed anyone that passed or at least tried. These parts of the jungle that were taken over were where the diamond mines were so the rebels needed money to buy supplies so they used diamonds for this. These diamonds were known as blood diamonds and lately law-enforcement has been trying to get all the blood diamonds off the market..
