  • @FlotillaCrew They became blood diamonds when the Zimbabwe National Army gunned down civilians in the Marange diamond fields and when the proceeds of the diamond sales were used to prop up a regime that brutalises its subjects to retain power.

  • white people need to stop claiming african land

  • No need to be racist. Besides, this isn't about white people claiming land - it's about a ruthless dictator and his cronies slaughtering innocent civilians and oppressing the masses.

  • the white people media would never cover this

    story if it have nothing to do with white business man and so call white land owners (white farmers) who stole the land they claimed as

    their own from poor black tribes

  • My friend, you need to educate yourself on this issue. Try Googling for: blood diamonds zimbabwe.

    The blood diamond issue has nothing to do with white farmers.

  • WHEN AN ISRAELI COMPANY CONTROLLED THE ZIMBABWE MINE THEY WERE "QUALITY DIAMONDS". WHEN THEY LOST CONTROL THEY BECAME "BLOOD DIAMONDS". ISRAEL CONTROLS THE MAJORITY OF THE WORLDS DIAMOND FINISHING INDUSTRY. WONDER WHY THIS MOVIE WAS MADE???

  • i'm an african girl, and i left my home when i was 9 years old because of the civil war, who had nothing to do with the white people. the weard thing is that africa is the most rich continent in the world and yet we are the most poor people on the earth. sometime i think that thoese diamont and guld africa have is a curt. maybe we don't have the sam religion or language, but we do share the same history and the same pain.

  • and all blacks including obama need to go back to africa, think about what you are saying, there are white people who went to zimbabwe who bought land after mugabe came to power therefore its legitimate and they have just as much right as blacks have to be in the USA and the UK and Canada (although I think blacks, being a lesser human species should work for the whites) does what i say upset you?

  • Read the book and you'll know what diamonds have to do with farming.

  • Looking forward to reading the book!
