Dirty Diamonds - Angola

Nov 1996Angola boasts the most dangerous and illegal diamond mines in the world.From an aerial view, hundreds of men work like black ants on the crater ridden landscape. In small groups, bare chested, knee deep in murky water they seive gravel for hours until they spot the glitter of one tiny diamond. In town, we interview an illegal trader who compares diamond dealing to the blood diamond trade in a warzone. He takes out a small paper package from his trouser leg and slowly unwraps a cluster of uncut jewels. He carries them to bribe his way out of any difficult situations. The De Beers diamond cartel is keen to stop the illegal diamond trade. A spokesman maintains that most of Angola's diamonds are smuggled out the country and are therefore denied to the people of Angola. "We would like to develop a first class diamond field and build a proper mining operation. In this way the country can be further developed." Local mining companies depend on private security firms to guarantee their safety. While filming, bandits with grenade launchers and machine guns take our reporter by surprise. After much bargaining, she is finally allowed to leave the area.

diamonds aren't worth it. they don't last forever like some want to believe. and the fact that they supposedly represent love is superficial.

Dos Santos liked to blaim Savimbi for everything, now he's dead he don't have that excuse. The trouble is with Angolans is they see white foreigners or mulattos as foreigners and black foreigners as Angolan, it's ridicolous. Neto started the civil war, carried out genocide of 27 of may, sure Dos Santos isn't to blaim for that, but he sees Angolans as sheep for him to sheer, because they aren't his people.

rappers, are you watching - check that bling
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
