Learn about the history and politics of Conflict Diamonds with iMinds insightful knowledge series.

Their existence was first brought to the world's attention by the international human rights organisation Global Witness, with its report on diamonds that were being illegally exported out of the war-torn African country, Angola. Angola was gripped by civil war from 1992-2002. During this time, rebel groups, most notably the 'National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, ' or UNITA, were unlawfully mining and selling much of the country's diamond resources.
