No more blood diamonds for Jamie Fox.
"Blood diamonds" or "conflict diamonds" are diamonds mined in a war zone and sold to finance an insurgency. The 2006 film Blood Diamond starring Leonardo DiCaprio helped raise public awareness about this issue which plagues Africa. The movie depicts the conflict in Sierra Leone in the 1990s but recognizes an ongoing crisis in Africa, especially in Sierra Leone and Angola. The diamonds are sold to benefit the warlords and the diamond industry at the expense of thousands of lives. By purchasing these diamonds, you are feeding into this conflict.
