Kalashnikovs, not M16s? That hard to believe. Also, where is the presence of the foreign interests purchasing these diamonds.

@AnnieGetYourGang Why is it hard to believe?

@MrDarth0

Maybe because there is no Soviet empire to give away their military export products for communist support anymore?

But IIRC, the Cold War counted 2 imperialist players ...

Too bad that the only thing we can do is donate, while the amounts we can get together are dwarfed by the amount corporations pay to keep atrocities like this happening. They gain money, but at what cost?
