How Blood Diamonds Influence Warlords

Blood Diamonds are money and power to African Warlords.  Forces will fight over them at all costs.  Blood Diamonds are fuel to the warlord's power.  They force slaves and workers to mine the diamonds up for personal gain.  Rebel leaders and warlords do not have a single bit of compassion in their body. Even children are foreced to sift throught rivers and dig through every square inch of soil, like an adult blood diamond worker woudl.  There are different groups of people that mine these diamonds.  These groups will fight and argue to gain business from outsiders.  They sell these diamonds to outsiders illegally and become wealthy.  It's easy money, because the warlords pay the slaves and workers a minimal amount of money and gain a large profit
