My theme is about conflict diamonds or commonly known as blood diamonds. The name Blood Diamonds refers to a diamond mined in a war zone and sold to finance an insurgency, invading army's war efforts, or a warlord's activity. Most of the mining of these blood diamonds is in Africa. Sierra Leonne has suffered the most destruction due to the type of diamonds found there( big and vibrant yellow). Cote d'lvorie began to develop a fledgling diamond mining industry in the 1990's, but a coup overthrew the government in 1999, starting a civil war. The country became a route for exporting diamonds from Liberia and war-torn Sierra Leone.

My Narrative begins in  Africa where your faced with instability, your shown the clash between waring tribes causing mass death because parasites are buying pressured carbon from Africa at a cheap price and exchanging it for nothing more then matter to unconcerned society.
