    Conflict diamonds fueled a brutal 10-year civil war in Sierra Leone that began in 1991 and led to many deaths. Rebel groups mined diamonds to fund weapons purchases, placing diamond miners in dangerous conditions and harming civilians caught in violence. While the war ended and rebel groups disarmed, conflict diamonds were also used to finance terrorism by groups like Al-Qaeda.
