    The document discusses conflict diamonds in Sierra Leone, noting that the civil war began in 1991 under Foday Sankoh and was fueled by weapons exchanged for diamonds, affecting the poor living in diamond mining areas. While the war ended under President Kabbah and the RUF was attacked, conflict diamonds also helped fund Al-Qaeda and the document asks if there are any questions.
