Blood Diamonds

"Rough diamond caches have often been used by rebel forces to finance arms purchases and other illegal activities. Neighbouring and other countries can be used as trading and transit grounds for illicit diamonds. Once diamonds are brought to market, their origin is difficult to trace and once polished, they can no longer be identified." http://www.un.org/peace/africa/Diamond.html Once found the diamonds the men can either go to the forces of who they work for or can sell them to venders to get more money for their diamond, however this is illegal so they are taking a chance. The diamonds however are not tracked and once polished and cut a diamond is a diamond. The man has got away with it and has provided more money for his family.
